Those unable to attend, may salute Cooper with a charitable donation made to The Dementia Research Fund, which takes donations of all sizes from anywhere in the world.

In the three months following his death, an incredible outpouring from the entertainment industry ensued. Tributes made range from Peter Gabriel and Victoria Beckham to Richard Branson, Chris Blackwell and former U2 manager Paul McGuinness.

"I had the wild good fortune to be both a close friend and business ally with this vibrant, fearless, talented and kind man,” shared current Capitol Music Group President Ashley Newton, with whom Cooper ran Virgin Records in the 1990s and early 2000s. “Together, across several decades and labels, Ray & I were blessed to be consistently in the orbit of immensely important music - but like everyone around him, I was forever surrendering to his ridiculously sharp and eccentric sense of humor. We literally laughed through the ages and I will miss him more than words can express."
