Dozens of Mini owners from across Ireland have paid a stunning tribute to the late rally driver Manus Kelly.

The owners of the iconic cars travelled across the country today to meet in Letterkenny.

From there they headed out in a cortege to the graveside of the Glenswilly man who was killed during the Donegal International Rally a week ago today.

The Mini owners stopped off at Conwal Graveyard and said a prayer at the graveside of Manus.

Donegal and the entire community continues to mourn the tragic loss of the 41-year-old father-of-five.

The late Manus Kelly, RIP.


Thousands of people called to the home of Mr Kelly during his wake before his funeral on Thursday last.

A Garda investigation into the cause of the crash at Fanad is still underway.

Mr Kelly’s co-driver, Donal Barrett, thankfully escaped with minor injuries from the crash.
