Lorraine Kelly is among the mourners gathered at Dame Deborah James' funeral in London as friends and family say goodbye to the beloved campaigner.
The mother-of-two, who became known as Bowelbabe, her social media handle, died last month aged 40 after being diagnosed with bowel cancer in 2016. Close friends and family arrived at St Mary's Church in Barnes, south-west London, ahead of the service this afternoon.
Lorraine, 62, and Gaby Roslin, who were both friends of Dame Deborah, filed into the church alongside family members carrying a wreath of white flowers. A note attached to the flowers said: “Deborah, thank you to our extraordinary friend. You together with Seb, Eloise and Hugo are such an important part of our family, we will love and miss you forever.”
