In a series of summery snaps, Mairead included one of Eliza's communion with Dara walking by her daughter's side, and fans were stunned to see how tall he's become.

'Darragh is a young man now, feels like five minutes ago when you were talking about him on the radio, about him making his communion, where does the time go,' one person remarked, prompting her to agree that 'it vanishes.'

Mairead also revealed that Eliza's veil for her big day was a family heirloom with a lovely connection to her late mum, Maureen, who sadly passed away the night before her 21st birthday.

'Our family veil, bought by my mum and worn by all of us (me, my *much older sisters and their daughters too),' she explained.

Speaking previously on The Moments That Made Me podcast, Mairead shared that it was only when she welcomed Dara that she felt the full loss of her mother in her life.

She said: 'It doesn't matter what age you are, it's tough [to lose a parent]. When I became a mam, I was young in that I was first of all my friends' age, 27.

'I really started mourning the loss of my own mother then, in the months after he was born. It's only when I had Dara I realised, " Oh my God, my mum had this love for me... I wish she was here.'

The communion pics come after she revealed that she was skipping her annual trip to Ascot this year to support Dara through his Leaving Cert.
