Deborah James' children show same courage as their mum as they say goodbye for the last time

Deborah James' children showed the same courage as their mum during the brave campaigner's funeral. The 40 year old podcaster died at the age of 40 on June 28 following a five year battle with bowel cancer.

Her 14 year old son Hugo Poland Bowen showed strength as he carried his mother's coffin into church. Along with his sister Eloise,12, they carried out Dame Deborah's final wishes.

The Mirror reports that Deborah raised more than £7 million for cancer research following her diagnosis in 2016. Her children and husband Sebastien dressed in black at her funeral according to her wish.
