A host of famous Irish faces are sharing their personal stories and anecdotes about the special bond men share with their sons in a new book Sons + Fathers.
The book which is in aid of the Irish Hospice Foundation came about after U2’s Bono donated some sentimental drawings that he made of his father towards the end of his life.
Contributors to the book include filmmakers Neil Jordan and John Boorman as well as Hollywood actors Daniel Day-Lewis, Gabriel Byrne and Colin Farrell.
