Lorraine Kelly has said she was 'honoured' to attend the funeral of Dame Deborah James.
The podcast host and mother-of-two, who became known as Bowel Babe, her social media handle, died last month aged 40 after being diagnosed with bowel cancer in 2016. A private service was held in her memory yesterday, on Wednesday July 20, where only close friends and family were expected to attend.
Today, on Lorraine's ITV show, the Scottish host spoke about the 'beautiful' service, which the Dame had pre-planned herself before she passed away. Deborah's heartbroken son Hugo, 14, helped carry his mother's wicket casket to St Mary's church in Barnes as her devastated husband Sebastien led the procession along with her daughter, Eloise, 12.
