Funeral arrangements have been announced for Lord Henry Mount Charles, the eighth Marquess Conyngham, of Slane Castle, who died on Tuesday aged 74 after a long illness.
Lord Henry will repose at Slane Castle on Tuesday, 24 June and those wishing to pay their respects are invited to do so between 3pm–7pm.
The funeral will take place on Wednesday 25 June at 12pm in St Patrick's Church of Ireland, Slane.
Due to very limited space inside the church, seating will be "reserved and allocated for family, with provision made for those outside".
The family said they "would like to welcome those attending to sympathise after the service in Slane Castle".
Lord Henry was widely credited with transforming Slane into a globally recognised live music destination.
His son, Alex, the Marquess Conyngham, said in a statement that the family had been "profoundly moved" by the public response to his passing.
"We have been truly touched by the strength of public sentiment and are deeply grateful for the countless expressions of sympathy and shared memories," he said.
"Dad's warmth, spirit and dedication to Slane, its people and its legacy forged friendships that extended incredibly far and wide."

They also expressed gratitude for the outpouring of support and requested privacy as they grieve.
