Showbiz icons turn out to pay respects to music legend Paddy Cole as ‘King Of The Swingers’ laid to rest after death
MOURNERS turned out to pay their respects as legendary musician Paddy Cole was laid to rest.
The 85-year-old entertainer died in Dublin’s St Vincent’s Private Hospital after a brave battle with ill health.
Cole was diagnosed with lung cancer in 2022 and had received hospice care before his death.
Paddy, who lived in Ballsbridge in Dublin, was affectionately known as “The King of The Swingers” throughout his stellar career.
Mass for Cole was celebrated at St Mary’s Church, Castleblayney, where the throngs of well-wishers included panto icon Adele King.
Michael D Higgins and Taoiseach Micheal Martin were also represented by their Aid De Camps.
The funeral mass, which lasted almost two hours, was celebrated by Fr Brian D’Arcy.
After the service he was cremated in a private family ceremony.
The saxophone player and singer is survived by his wife Helen, children Pearse, Pat and Karen and many grandchildren and family friends.
Announcing his death last Wednesday, his son Pat said on behalf of the family: “The music world mourns the loss of the legendary Paddy Cole, a beloved entertainer who brought joy to thousands with his vibrant personality and infectious music.
“From the Capitol Showband to his own Superstars, Paddy Cole’s saxophone, clarinet, and vocals filled dance halls and concert stages with his signature blend of jazz, Dixieland, and showband sounds.
“His music transcended generations, creating memories that will forever be cherished.
‘OUTPOURING OF LOVE’
“On behalf of his family, we express our deepest gratitude for the outpouring of love and support during this difficult time. Paddy’s legacy will live on through the music he created and the joy he shared with the world.”
Veteran musician Cole celebrated his 85th birthday on December 17 last year.
In his final interview last month, he said that in recent years he never expected to reach such a milestone age.
He indicated that his health was “up and down” but he was trying to stay positive and keep “the best side out.”
In one of his final public statements, Paddy said: “I’ve seen the world through music, I’ve reared a family doing something I love, and it doesn’t get much better than that in life.”
Never ignore three iPhone pop-ups – you’ll risk £100 bill and even worse mistake could break your phone completely
YOU’LL probably get dozens of notifications on your iPhone every day – but there are some alerts you should pay extra special attention to.
If you ignore them, you risk a slower iPhone, hefty bills, and even permanent damage to your pricey gadget.
The Sun has pulled together a list of three important alerts that you should never overlook.
IPHONE STORAGE ALMOST FULL
First up is the message iPhone Storage Almost Full.
Some of you might never have seen it, but it might be worryingly familiar for others.
It means that you’re running out of space on your iPhone, which is usually because you’ve got too many apps, photos, and/or videos.
That might sound annoying, but not exactly phone-breaking.
The bad news is that if you let your iPhone storage drop too low, it can several impact your phone’s performance.
It can slow right down (even if you’ve got a fancy new device) and even switch off entirely.
Apple says you’ll want to make sure you keep at least a gigabyte of storage space free to avoid these effects.
“For best performance, try to maintain at least 1GB of free space,” Apple explains.
“If your available storage is consistently less than 1GB, your device might slow down as iOS or iPadOS repeatedly makes room for more content.”
IPHONE NEEDS TO COOL DOWN
If you’ve used an iPhone in a hot country or during the height of summer, you may have seen an iPhone temperature warning screen.
It’ll pop up on your iPhone in the form of an alert with a thermometer icon.
The pop-up will block out your whole screen, and a message will read: “Temperature: iPhone needs to cool down before you can use it.”
This message is an inconvenience because your iPhone can’t be used for anything other than emergency calls.
But it’s very bad for another reason: your battery health.
Excessive heat is one of the biggest dangers to your battery – and can permanently damage it, reducing its lifespan.
Your battery will naturally get worse over time, holding less charge than when it was new.
In fact, you can check this under Maximum Capacity in Settings > Battery > Battery Health.
WHY DO BATTERIES GET WORSE OVER TIME?
Here's what you need to know
- Most gadgets run on lithium-ion batteries
- Over time, the amount of charge this type of battery can hold gets smaller
- That means you need to charge your device more often because they hold less charge
- Batteries have two electrode points – the cathode and the anode
- To charge a battery, the ions inside the battery are forced from the cathode to the anode
- When you use a battery, it moves in the reverse direction
- This process wears away at the structure of the anode, reducing its ability to function correctly
- But the process also builds up a kind of salt on the cathode when charging
- As this build-up grows, the battery will accept less charge over time
- It’s estimated that between 500 and 1,000 full charge-cycles will reduce a battery’s maximum capacity by roughly 20%
Picture Credit: Apple / The Sun
You’d probably expect to hit around 80% Maximum Capacity after around 500 charging cycles, which usually takes about two years.
But if you let your iPhone get hot very regularly, your battery can degrade faster.
That means if you don’t want to fork out for a new iPhone, you’ll eventually need to buy a battery replacement.
Depending on your model, they’ll usually cost £100 or less – check out our iPhone battery replacement guide here.

It’s a great way to breathe new life into an iPhone, giving it like-new battery life and better performance too.
But you want to avoid letting your battery get too hot, so you can put off a battery replacement for as long as possible.
So if you see the iPhone’s Temperature pop-up, move the device to a cool place as soon as possible – away from direct sunlight.
LIQUID DETECTED
The third alert to watch out for is Liquid Detected – ignoring it could permanently break your iPhone.
There are two different pop-ups that might appear for you.
There are several different alerts that can appear depending on what you’re up to – but they’ll usually indicate that you’ve got water in your charging port, or on the connector for your cable or accessory.
It’ll say something like: “Charging Not Available. Liquid has been detected in the Lightning connector. Disconnect to allow the connector to dry. This may take several hours.”
Apple says you should ignore the warning if it’s an emergency. Otherwise, you’ll risk seriously damaging your iPhone.
Don’t put your iPhone in a bag of rice.
Apple
“If you charge your iPhone while the Lightning or USB-C connector is wet, the pins on the connector or cable can corrode and cause permanent damage or stop functioning, causing connectivity issues for your iPhone or accessory,” Apple explained.
“Although you shouldn’t charge your iPhone when it’s wet, you might need to in an emergency.
“If you reconnect your iPhone to the cable or accessory, you have the option in an emergency to override the liquid detection and charge your iPhone.”
The best thing to do is just let your iPhone dry out naturally.
Leave it in a warm and dry place – but don’t apply any external heat, like blasting it with a hairdryer.
You shouldn’t put a cotton swab or paper towels in the charging port either.
And to bust a longstanding myth, Apple says: “Don’t put your iPhone in a bag of rice. Doing so could allow small particles of rice to damage your iPhone.”

‘I had to put sharks out of my mind’ says Dubliner, 61, on gruelling 12-hour infested waters swim as he plots 4th feat
MEET the Irishman who completed a 12-hour swim in shark-infested waters . . . at night.
Brilliant Barry Murphy, 61, from Ranelagh in Dublin, completed the international Triple Crown in September when he swam 34km from Catalina Island to Smugglers Cove in Los Angeles.
That is on top of previous overseas endeavours — the 20 Bridges, a gruelling 48km swim around Manhattan Island earlier this year, and the English Channel in 2019.
And while those swims all took place during the daytime, the choppy 12 hours 28min Catalina Island crossing started at night, when the local sharks go into hunting mode.
In August, a month before Barry’s dip, a Great White even rammed a fishing boat off the same Catalina Island.
Barry, who has his eyes set on another shark-infested swim in March – told the Irish Sun: “I got in and just had to put the thoughts of sharks out of my mind.
“But it’s not easy as I knew they actually feast around the other side of the island, so I just had to plough on and hope for the best.
“The reason you swim up to eight hours in darkness is that you get less windy conditions at night.
‘A TOASTY 20C’
“I set off in ideal conditions but the weather deteriorated very quickly when what the locals call the ‘Diablo Wind’ came in, resulting in pretty lumpy conditions during most of the swim.
“It was a challenging swim but on the plus side the sea temperature was a toasty 20C.
“As with all these types of swims it’s about getting there, which I did.”
Barry’s name is already in the Guinness World Records book as the oldest Irishman to complete the Original Triple Crown, when he finished the Bristol Channel in August 2023 aged 60 years and 271 days.
It was the second time he did the Bristol slog after organisers bungled his first attempt and said they could not ratify his initial crossing.
He nailed that 42k crossing on August 24 2023 — exactly a month after his first go.
It made Barry, a member of NAC Masters club in Dublin – the oldest man to complete the Original Triple Crown of Open Water Swimming.
The challenge consists of crossing the English Channel between England and France, the North Channel between Ireland and Scotland and, of course, the Wales to England Bristol Channel swim.
He has also completed the Irish Triple Crown, consisting of The Fastnet, The Galway Bay and The North Channel.
He is one of just 13 people to complete the Irish Triple Crown and one of 19 to do The Original Triple Crown. Only five people ever have finished both Triple Crowns.
By completing the Catalina Swim, Barry now has the triple Triple Crown — the Original, International and Irish.
But he is not stopping there.
He aims to land his fourth Triple Crown next month, when he swims False Bay in Cape Town, Robben Island and Cape Point.
Barry said: “I’m flying over in March and plan on doing the three of them in one trip.
“False Bay is the longest at 34km, so that’s the one I’m most concerned about. The others are both just over 10km, so should be OK.
NOTORIOUS FOR JELLYFISH
“Of course, there are lots of sharks in South Africa too, so that’s another concern.
“But at least over there they use a shark shield, which emits an electrical frequency that keeps them away.”
Despite swimming all over the world, Barry says his toughest test was here in 2022.
The North Irish Channel – one of the Ocean Sevens series of swimming routes — is notorious for jellyfish, strong currents, changeable weather conditions and low water temperatures.
Barry said he was stung about 20 to 30 times on that one and saw one jellyfish the size of a CAR.
He said: “I encountered a lot of jellyfish – one was the size of a small car, but the adrenaline and cold water helps you swim through the pain.
“You have to fight the urge to quit as you’re seeing people in the support boat wearing coats and hats who look so warm.
“Your body is constantly screaming at you to get out of the sea because the cold water is so uncomfortable. You question your sanity but you just have to keep going.”
