The funerals of three teenagers who died outside a disco on St Patrick's Day will take place today.

17 year old Lauren Bullock died at the scene while queuing to get into the Greenvale Hotel in Cookstown.

Her funeral will take place in St. Patrick’s Church in her native Donaghmore.

Morgan Barnard - who is also 17 and from Dungannon - will be laid to rest after mass in St. Patrick’s Church, Dungannon.

While the funeral for the youngest victim, 16 year old Connor Currie will be held in St. Malachy’s Church, Edendork at 2 o'clock.

The PSNI say investigations into the tragedy are ongoing.

The tragic incident happened when around 400 teenagers went to the Greenvale Hotel on Sunday night to celebrate St. Patrick's Day.

The queue to get into the disco quickly became lethal, and police believe the crush happened as a large group of teenagers surged towards the front door of the hotel.
