The full lineup for tonight's Gay Byrne Late Late Show special has been unveiled.
Veteran broadcaster Gay died aged 85 at home in Dublin yesterday following a long illness.
Ryan Tubridy will play host for a 90 minute special this evening from 9.35pm on RTE One which will include contributions from Gay’s many friends and colleagues across the world of entertainment and beyond.
Guests who will be joining Tubs tonight to pay tribute include President Michael D Higgins, Mary McAleese, Bob Geldof, Pat Kenny, Joe Duffy, Mike Murphy, Andrea Corr, Sharon Shannon, John Sheahan, Finbar Furey, Nell McCafferty, John McColgan, Tommy Tiernan, Pat Shortt, Jon Kenny, Rosaleen Linehan, Eamon Dunphy, Twink, Fr Brian D'Arcy, Paddy Maloney, Donal Lunny, Nell, Michael Carruth, Moya Doherty, RTE Director General Dee Forbes, Vincent Browne, Mary Black, Frank McNamara and Aonghus McAnally.
Earlier, Tubridy wrote a heartwarming message for Gaybo in the book of condolence for the star, which was opened at the Mansion House in Dublin today.
Lord Mayor of Dublin Paul McAuliffe opened the book to allow the people of the capital to express their sympathies to Mr Byrne's family.
Fianna Fail leader Micheal Martin and RTE broadcasters Joe Duffy and Tubs were among the well-known faces who arrived to sign the book.
The current Late Late Show host left a message for Gaybo there.
It read: "You wrote the rule book - we all followed. RIP my friend."
