Harris, who played Dumbledore in the Harry Potter films, was
held at the city's Jesuit Church.
His first wife, Elizabeth, one of their sons, Jared, and the
actor's three brothers, Ivan, Noel and Billy, were at the
service. Friends and acquaintances from the worlds of acting,
politics and sport were also there.
Former Irish Prime Minister Albert Reynolds described Richard
Harris as an outstanding actor and a great Irishman.
Harris, who first rose to fame in America in the 1967 screen
musical "Camelot," in which he played King Arthur to Vanessa
Redgrave's Guenevere, died Oct. 26 in a London hospital shortly
after it was announced that he was suffering with Hodgkin's
Disease.
