The Corrs star pays tribute to Lord Henry Mount Charles after funeral warning
The Corrs star Caroline Corr has paid an emotional tribute in the wake of the death of Lord Henry Mount Charles as his funeral details have been announced. The Dundalk native was among the hundreds to pay tribute to the Slane Castle boss, who died on June 18 at the age of 74. Captioning a video of Lord Henry on her social media, she told her 70,000 followers: "Lord Henry Mount Charles. The extraordinary legacy that changed the world of Irish entertainment." The Co Meath aristocrat's funeral will be held on Wednesday at midday at St Patrick's Church in Slane. It will also stream online, with his family warning: "Due to very limited space inside the church, seating will be reserved and allocated for the family, with provision made for those outside." The chapel is being reserved for his family and guests because it is so small but the public are also invited to come and pay their respects. His son Alex Conyngham told the Sunday Independent of his last conversation with his father. "We talked late into the night, just the two of us, and it included my father putting some steel in my back for the future." Mount Charles told his son that, in taking over responsibility for Slane Castle, "at times it would be incredibly challenging and there may come times where you feel like it's too much to bear." Conyngham said his father added that "those are precisely the moments where you have to dig in and remember what your responsibilities are and fight to find the light at the end of the tunnel — the light will always be there". In his online death notice, Lord Mount Charles' family paid tribute to the staff at St James' Hospital in Dublin who cared for him during his long and brave battle with cancer. They said: "The Conyngham family would like to extend their heartfelt gratitude to the exceptional staff at St James' Hospital, where Henry received stellar care over the past decade and to all those who supported him with compassion, kindness, and humour throughout his illness. "They are also deeply moved by the outpourings of love and support following Henry's passing. "Henry will repose at the Castle on Tuesday 24 and those wishing to pay their respects are invited to do so between 3 to 7pm. "The funeral will take place on Wednesday 25 at noon in St Patrick's Church of Ireland, Slane. "Due to very limited space inside the Church, seating will be reserved and allocated for the family, with provision made for those outside. "The family thanks you in advance for your understanding and would like to welcome those attending to sympathise after the service in Slane Castle."
