Paul O'Grady's neighbours speak of star's 'generosity' as they line streets for funeral

Paul O'Grady's neighbours and fans have come out in their droves to line the streets of Aldington, Kent to remember the much-loved TV star.

Paul was aged 67 when he died "unexpectedly and peacefully" last month and is being laid to rest in a funeral at the Kent village, which he adopted as his hometown of more than 20 years.

Although the funeral service itself will be private, Paul's husband Andre Portasio invited locals and fans of Paul to line the streets and say their goodbyes, with people beginning to arrive from 10am ahead of the funeral, which begins at 2pm.
