The funeral for Pierre Zakrzewski will take place in south Dublin today.
The cameraman, who was from Leopardstown, was killed in Ukraine two weeks ago.
Pierre Zakrzewski grew up in Dublin before becoming a journalist and covering conflicts in places like Syria and Afghanistan.
He'd been working in Ukraine for American channel Fox News when his car was hit by Russian shelling on March 14th, killing the 55-year-old and one of his colleagues.
His funeral will take place at The Church of Our Lady of Perpetual Succour Foxrock Church in Dublin at 10am this morning.
