Bono was amongst the many celebrities and politicians that turned out to pay tribute to late former cabinet minister Mo Mowlam in London at the weekend. The U2 man spoke of Mowlam's efforts in the Northern Ireland peace process and of her strength in the face of her illness. The event took place at the Drury Lane Theatre in London and also featured appearances from Lulu, and three members of the late Ian Dury's group The Blockheads, who altered the words of the song they performed to make unflattering references to cabinet types who clashed with Mowlam.
Lots of actors and comedians were there too, although not all could be there in person: Tony Blair's message of tribute came via a video link.
