Another classy move by RTE.

Shortly after Joanna Donnelly managed to sneak a Prince reference into her weather report on the news, Prime Time paid their own tribute by playing probably his most famous ever song over the end credits on Thursday night.

Sent into us by JOE reader Paul Byrne, it was another classy touch.

If you thought that was impressive, meanwhile, check out the scenes in Prince’s home city of Minneapolis on Thursday night, where thousands gathered to sing, dance and have a party in his honour.

Fitting tributes to a great man; he truly was one of a kind.
