Photos of Bono's Dad funeral + Slane report...

Saturday night marked a historic night in the history of Irish pop music as the world’s biggest band U2, the pride of Ireland came home for the first of two concerts for over 80,000 fans in the legendary Slane Castle.

Slane was the location of the band's first major show 20 years ago when the doubled the bill along with fellow Irish rockers Thin Lizzy. "Thank god for the sun. Thank god for taking my old man and away from the pain of his old body and thank you for waiting so long" Bono shouted as he arrived on the stage in Slane at 8.30 pm on Saturday.

Sadly Bono's Dad, Robert Hewson, passed away last week after a battle with cancer. Below are some photos of the funeral and friends that came out to support Bono and his family.

U2 followed the Red Hot Chilli Peppers, Kelis and Coldplay who has been on stage before them during the day.

Among the guests in the backstage area where ShowBizIreland.com had exclusive access were VIP’s such as The Irish Prime Minister Bertie Ahern, actor John Hurt, racing driver Eddie Irvine, the Irish actor Stewart Townsend and his girlfriend the Hollywood actress Charize Theron, Boyband manager Louis Walsh, the Irish actor Jonathan Rhys Meyers, Hollywood star of Meet Joe Black Claire Florani along with the comedian Lee Evans, both of whom are filming Highbinders in Ireland with Jackie Chan.

Other stars who were U2’s guests were Westlife's Brian McFadden, singers Brian Kennedy and Paul Brady, Irish rockers The Cranberries and MTV boss Brett Hanson.

Gerry Corr, the father of the Corrs were there to represent the band who are in Australia.

But the star of the day was ShowBizIreland.com's very own favorite star Samantha Mumba who took time out to tell us how happy she was with all the support we give her on the site.
