Artists gather to remember life and works of le Brocquy

Leading names from the world of art and culture gathered in Dublin over the weekend to celebrate the life and works of the late artist, Louis le Brocquy.

Hundreds of people attended a special commemorative service held in St Patrick’s Cathedral on Saturday afternoon in honour of the 95-year-old painter who died last Wednesday.

Welcoming mourners, Rev Robert Reed, precentor of St Patrick’s observed how Mr le Brocquy had regarded himself as an “open-minded agnostic” who subscribed to no religion.
