Alan Carr recently recalled how a hilarious error at Paul O'Grady's funeral lightened the mood slightly for a number of mourners paying their respects. The 46-year-old comedian joined the likes of Rolling Stones star Ronnie Wood, fellow comic Jo Brand, and presenter Gaby Roslin at the funeral in April - following Paul's 'unexpected but peaceful' passing at the age of 67 a month prior.
The celebration of life took place at St Rumwold's Church in Kent, with local schoolchildren and teachers taking to the streets to share touching tributes to the late TV star. And while Paul's funeral was an emotional affair to friends and family alike, Alan has detailed how the service for his long-time friend managed to provide some unintentional off the cuff comedy.
Speaking with Kathy Burke, Alan revealed that he and fellow mourners were left 'in bits' throughout the proceedings, but ended up 'killing ourselves laughing' through one particular blunder, which saw a very awkward musical performance and follow up comment from the vicar.
