Dame Deborah James' heartbroken son Hugo, who is just 14 years old, helped carry his mother's wicker casket into St Mary's Church, Barnes, today as the family laid her to rest.
The 40-year-old 'Bowelbabe' passed away on June 28, following a five-year fight with bowel cancer. And the sun shone down upon the church, as Deborah's devastated husband Sebastien led the procession - alongside their two children Hugo and Eloise, 12, while a Rolls-Royce bearing the cancer activist's body made way to the chapel.
The Mirror reports that just after 1pm, Deborah’s son, Hugo, joined his father and two other family members to help carry the coffin into St Mary's. With his head bowed, he only wobbled a little, his feet finding their footing for a moment, before he led the way inside the church to say a final goodbye.
