Hundreds of mourners lined the streets of a Kent village on Thursday for the funeral of comedian and entertainer Paul O’Grady who was been laid to rest following a “moving” service that included a eulogy from actor Julian Clary and a reading from Lord Michael Cashman.
The presenter – known and loved for drag alter-ego Lily Savage – died on 29 March aged 67. While his cause of death is yet to be officially disclosed, he suffered numerous heart attacks over the years.

Update: It says a great deal about 2016 that the news about Lindsay Lohan and a British town famous for producing Weetabix isn't the weirdest story to emerge this year.
The oddness began when Lohan wrote a string of tweets back in June, just as Britain was going to the polls over the EU referendum. "Sorry," Lohan wrote in one tweet, "but Kettering where are you."
Kettering MP Philip Hollobone then brought the tweet up in the House of Commons, stating in no uncertain terms that "everyone knows where Kettering is", before listing its achievements: Weetabix breakfast cereal, a football club and Cheaney's and Loakes shoes being among them. Hollobone then suggested that Lohan could make amends by turning on the town's Christmas lights this year.
