Charlie Bird reveals where he wants his ashes to be scattered

Charlie Bird will appear in an RTE documentary tonight where he will be seen visiting Inis Oirr in the Aran Islands to pick out the spot for his ashes to be scattered.

The powerful documentary will be shown on RTE One tonight (Monday), and the former broadcaster will discuss his battle with Motor Neuron Disease, and reveal where he wishes his final resting place to be.

Charlie, 72, was filmed flying to the island along with his wife Claire and their dog Tiger. The couple visited their friend Peadar on the island, and Charlie reveals he wishes his ashes to be scattered in a grave next to Peadar's plot in a cemetery.
