Dame Deborah James' funeral took place today in London as her closest family and friends paid their respects to the beloved star.
At the service, Deborah's heartbroken son Hugo, 14, carried in his mother's wicket casket to St Mary's church in Barnes as the family finally lay her to rest. The cancer campaigner, known online as BowelBabe, tragically died aged 40 on June 28, after a brave five-year battle with bowel cancer.
Deborah's devastated husband Sebastien led the procession alongside their two children Hugo and Eloise, 12, as the Rolls Royce made its way to the chapel. Before her passing, Deborah, who raised £7.4million for charity in her final weeks, expressed hope that her children would be able to read poems to those in attendance, writes the Mirror.
