Paul O'Grady's funeral will see the streets of Birkenhead lined with dogs - in a 'sign of respect' for the animal-adoring TV legend.
The presenter and personality - who also created drag act Lily Savage - passed away 'unexpectedly but peacefully' aged 67 at the end of March, leaving followers and fans around the world stunned.
And a massive memorial will take place on Thursday, as the star is laid to rest where he spent his later life in Kent.
