Van Morrison will be among those honouring President Michael D Higgins in a special televised event in celebration of the politician’s 80th birthday later this month.

The one-hour show of music and the arts will air on TG4, and will see Ireland’s poets, singers, musicians, thinkers, playwrights, and dancers celebrating Mr Higgins’s political and philosophical ideals.
