Paul O'Grady fans were in tears during last night's For the Love Of Dogs.
The Merseyside icon was laid to rest yesterday at a private funeral in Kent after he died aged 67. Fans of the Lily Savage star were also invited to join a procession through the streets around Aldington before heading to the church.
Reverend Canon Roger Martin welcomed family and friends including comedian Julian Clary, actress Dame Sheila Hancock, the late Dame Barbara Windsor's widower Scott Mitchell and EastEnders actor Scott Maslen. Dogs and their owners also lined the streets in Paul's hometown of Birkenhead.
