Fans pay tribute to Sinead O'Connor on anniversary

Two years have now passed since Sinéad O'Connor sadly died at the age of 56. The Irish legend left an everlasting mark on the country's music scene, as well as being a cultural icon to many across the world. The singer's death was confirmed to be a result of chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) and asthma, after she was found unresponsive in her London flat on July 26, 2023. Sinead O'Connor ripped up a photo of the Pope on Saturday Night Live in 1992. Pic: NBC Sinéad's untimely death shocked and upset fans all around the world and now they have continued to pay tribute to the star to mark her second anniversary. One fan shared on social media: 'Paid a visit to Deansgrange Cemetery today and laid some flowers at the grave of Sinéad O'Connor. 2 years tomorrow since she passed. Nothing compares to you, Sinéad.' Another wrote: 'R.I.P. Sinéad O'Connor! Thank you for standing on the right side of history. Your humanity in the Palestinian people has proven you to be a true leader in representing equality. Nothing but respect for the Irish people.' Sinead O'Connor passed away two years ago today. Pic: Getty. A third added: 'There are no words to describe the artist Sinéad … Thank you Sinéad, for the gems of beauty you shared with us.' Yet another said: 'She will never ever be forgotten. She was unique and complicated. She wasn't a typical voice, musically, artistically and politically. She was both fragile and powerful. She was a fighter and a force. For me, she is my ultimate Irish icon and a connection with my half Irish heritage.' District Music paid a tribute to Sinéad, saying: 'Her voice wasn't just musical, it was a protest, a prayer, and a force for truth in a world too often afraid of it. We remember her not just for her art, but for her courage.' Fans outside the former home of Sinead O'Connor in Bray ahead of her funeral in 2023. Pic: Liam McBurney/PA Wire Earlier this week, singer Imelda May also shared her memories of Sinéad while speaking on Ireland AM. She said: 'Sinead was absolutely brilliant, she spoke the truth and she was brave as anyone I ever knew, she was one of the bravest women. 'She took the grief that she got all the time and she was just full of love all the time and I really miss her, I'll miss her forever.' Sinéad O'Connor was a unique figure in Irish music. Pic: Andre Csillag/REX/Shutterstock Last week, Sinéad's father Seán told Oliver Callan on RTE Radio One that he visits his daughter's grave every week to 'bring her up to date'. The 87-year-old revealed Sinéad's grave is simple and was designed by another one of his daughters, Eimear. He said: 'It's more to do with the fans than her family. Her family is in the heart. Asked how he was by Sinéad's side during the turbulent times of her career, Seán revealed there was nothing he could do but be there for her. Seán O'Connor with his children Sinéad, Joseph and Eimear at the launch of Dublin: One City One Book in 2011. Pic: Fran Veale He added: 'In the end, I always had a feeling of compassion for her. 'She was always on the edge. We got on really well, most of the time, and sometimes she'd fall out with me.' He then recalled one of his final memories with his daughter, when the pair headed away for a staycation to Wexford in January 2023. Seán remarked: 'We went down to the holiday, checking in two rooms and we went off for a drive and we came back and I had been upgraded. 'I had a suite — and chocolates [and] a bunch of flowers. You couldn't go anywhere with Sinéad, somebody would come over, 'Oh, Sinéad love. How are ya?'' He added that he was 'beginning to deal with' the loss of his daughter.

Coleen Nolan, Corrie's Ken Barlow & other celebs ask me to read their pets' minds… I charge £130 a pop – I'm no fraud

A "DOG whisperer" charges £130 a pop to read the minds of people's pets - and has worked with Corrie's Ken Barlow and Coleen Nolan. Psychic Jackie Weaver says one of 5 Jackie Weaver says that she is an animal psychic Credit: Jackie Weaver 5 Loose Women star Coleen Nolan with her dog Credit: Splash 5 William Roache has also worked with Jackie Credit: Getty Jackie, 61, claims she first realised that she 'knew' impossible things as a child and that she always had a 'close connection' with animals. However, Jackie says she only learned to receive 'pictures, words and physical feelings' from animals later in life after beating All she needs is a picture of the animal to connect with a 'wavelength' in her mind - like a mobile phone - which allows her to chat to the dog or cat. During her cancer battle, she says she was told by another psychic her mysterious 'connection' was actually a powerful psychic ability. Read More on Animal news Now, Jackie runs a successful business where she tunes into the minds of cats and dogs to reveal their innermost secrets to their owners. She works closely with many famous celebrities, who are fans of her spiritual service, including soap veteran Jackie has remained close friends with Roache, whom she knows as Bill, ever since appearing with him on Jackie said: "I went to Bill's house and chatted to all three of his dogs. Most read in The Sun "We had such fun and they were all very individual in their own ways. "What makes me smile to this day was when one pointed out that Bill often started hobbies but tended not to complete them! Psychic powers "Bill's face was a picture as he pointed to a door and said, 'Behind that door is a painting that is half finished, and it has been like that for the past two years!' "Just goes to show, animals know much about their owners, celebrities or not." Jenny Seagrove, star A Woman of Substance, is also a longtime customer of Jackie's - having become her friend during one psychic reading. Despite her immense popularity, though, Jackie says that she finds that people are 'sceptical' about her abilities. One doubter was Jackie said: 'I have done a lot of TV over the years and had to prove again and again, often live on air, that I am communicating with that person's animal and they are recognising the information. 'I remember chatting to several animals live on air, for the ladies of the Loose Women panel. 'Coleen Nolan was open with me and said she was still not sure about my ability, until I told her the reason why her dog only had three legs and what had happened.' 5 Jackie appeared on Loose Women where she read the mind of Coleen Nolan's dog Credit: Jackie Weaver 5 She claims to be able to communicate with animals through a wavelength in 'her mind' Credit: Jackie Weaver During the episode, Jackie said that Jackie claimed that Mika, the dog, had lost its leg after falling from a height. Coleen confirmed that she had rescued her dog, adopting him after he fell from a sofa and lost his leg. Some of the animals that Jackie meets have heartbreaking stories to share, like one horse who told the psychic that it has been supported by 'the angels'. The horse had fallen into a cattle grid and was unable to be rescued by the However, somehow, the horse suddenly freed itself from its trap. Trying to understand the bizarre incident, the horse's owner called Jackie - having thought that the horse had 'given up'. Opening up about the story, Jackie said: 'I suddenly heard, loud and clear, 'The Angels lifted me out'. 'I interrupted her, and quickly thought of how to put this, and said, 'This might sound odd, but all of a sudden did he seem to be up and out?' 'She said, 'Yes, it was astonishing and nobody could believe what they had just experienced. He had a few scrapes on his but was absolutely fine.' 'I told her what he had said about the Angels. I get goosebumps to this day when I recall it. 'Like my work, and my own 'terminal' survival, sometimes things happen that we can just not explain.' Often, Jackie works with animals who are about to die and claims to be able to let owners know what their animals are thinking. According to her, animals can tell owners about their pain and even reintroduce them to pets who have passed on. She says this serves two purposes. Jackie said: 'Firstly, they know their pet will not be alone when they pass over, and there is an afterlife. 'This is not the end. 'Secondly, the owners have experienced the grief of losing a pet before and came through it, eventually.' According to Jackie, every animal is different and each one has its own unique personality - with her own cat acting 'like a dog' who likes to go on walks. Because of that, she doesn't have a favourite type of animal to chat to. She said: 'I do not have a favourite species of animal to chat to - they are all individuals and I love it when I learn something new - you would be amazed what information animals can share. 'Funny animals are fabulous as I love to laugh and make people smile.' Have a story? Email
