Heartfelt tributes have been paid to a beloved Newcastle drag queen who "radiated warmth" to everyone they met.
Martin Greenfield, who performed as 'Honey Lingus', died at the age of 43 last week, after a struggle with illness and some mental health issues. As both Martin and Honey they were much-loved as an performer and a friend who will be remembered for their "energy, light, joy, empathy".
Trailblazing Martin is thought to have been one of the first black drag queens performing in Newcastle when they started their act in the 1990s. Close friend Mark Stephenson remembered them as "a star that always shined bright".
