He got the last laugh.<\/p>\n

Loved ones at an Irish funeral for Defence Forces Veteran Shay Bradley were shocked \u2014 then delighted \u2014 when they heard the voice of their late friend calling out from his coffin.<\/p>\n

\u201cHello, hello \u2014 let me out!\u201d they heard on Saturday at Bradley\u2019s funeral in Kilmanagh, Leinster, as his casket was lowered into the ground.<\/p>\n

The pre-recorded message continued, \u201cWhere the f\u2009-\u2009-\u2009k am I? Let me out, let me out. It\u2019s f\u2009-\u2009-\u2009king dark in here. Is that the priest I can hear? This is Shay, I\u2019m in the box. No, in f\u2009-\u2009-\u2009king front of you. I\u2019m dead.\u201d<\/p>\n

A video of the posthumous prank,\u00a0posted to Twitter, Sunday, shows mourners laughing and crying as Bradley\u2019s voice began to sing, \u201cHello again, hello. Hello, I just called to say goodbye.\u201d<\/p>\n

The footage has gone viral with more than 500,000 views and over 16,000 likes.<\/p>\n

Friends and family said\u00a0the good-humoured officer and father made the recording because he knew he was dying of a\u00a0\u201clong illness bravely borne\u201d \u2014 and wanted \u201cto make his family laugh rather than cry at the funeral.\u201d<\/p>\n

Those close to him are now using the hashtag \u201c#shayslastlaugh\u201d to share the story.<\/p>\n

Other veterans of the Defence Force said the video of their colleague\u2019s funeral \u201csays it all\u201d about military humour.<\/p>\n

\u201cWas asked a question the other day, it was what\u2019s the difference between military humour and Civilian humour it\u2019s simple it\u2019s black. This video should say it all,\u201d\u00a0they posted on Facebook.<\/p>\n

Bradley, who died Oct. 8, is survived by his wife, Anne, and children, Jonathan, Susanne, James and Andrea.<\/p>\n
