Since the death of Shane MacGowan on November 30, there have been hordes of tributes to the legendary Pogues frontman, whose genius as a songwriter and singer has been celebrated immensely since his passing.
Widely shared were the clips of his funeral, with the likes of Nick Cave, Glen Hansard, and Spider Stacy all giving glorious renditions of some of the Pogues' best songs.
