Paul O'Grady's grandson pays touching Lily Savage tribute as showbiz icon laid to rest

Paul O'Grady's funeral had a huge turnout on Thursday, as the television icon was mourned by the masses at his hometown in Birkenhead and home in Adlington, Kent. The popular entertainer sadly passed away last month.

Family, friends and fans came from near and far to mark the 67-year-old's vibrant life. In heartbreaking images, Paul's beloved husband Andre Portasio, whom he had been married to for six years, clutched their Maltese pooch Conchita as he sat on a horse-drawn carriage as part of the funeral cortege.

Among the personal touches to the funeral procession on Thursday today was a lovable tribute to his late dog Buster, who fans will be familiar with from appearing alongside him on his chat show, the Mirror reports. His fluffy best pal tragically had to be put down in 2009, and flowers spelling Buster's name and a depiction of the dog sat by the coffin.
