It’s fair to say we are living in the generation of the selfie.
Earlier this week we saw maybe the best Irish wedding selfie ever in Donegal.
Father Pat took a selfie of newlyweds Sinéad and Christopher O’Donnell in the church, which managed to capture everyone in attendance.
It’s happy times like these that selfies can be taken and cherished forever however one woman has come under fire for her selfie-taking in Mexico.
Francesca Fierros Palomino is being criticized by many for taking selfies at her grandfather’s funeral.
Dressed in the appropriate attire for a funeral, Francesca gained a lot of attention online for posting pictures with captions like “Rest in Peace, granddad”.
She was also slated for taking a selfie in her mirror, captioning the second photo “Coming back from the funeral, Rest in Peace granddad”.
The controversy surrounding the selfies led people to brand Francesca ‘LadyFuneral’ with the hashtag #LadyFuneral trending on social media sites everywhere.

Do you think selfie-taking is something innocent or something that should be regulated at events e.g. funerals
