Popular Dublin pub owner dies unexpectedly at Manchester United game

The family of popular Dubliner Charlie Chapman has raised thousands for the Kevin Bell Repatriation Trust following his unexpected death last month.

The 66-year-old from Portmarnock was well-known among Irish holidaymakers in Lanzarote as he founded the famous Charlie's Bar in Puerto del Carmen as well as popular Irish bar Craic N' Ceol, which is now managed by his son Ryan. He was also a member of the popular The Miami Showband in the 1970's.

Mr Chapman died in January while attending a Manchester United versus Everton game in Old Trafford with his son. Due to his death occurring in the UK, the family faced delays with getting his body home.
