Sheridan Smith said she was sad to miss Paul O'Grady's funeral today, as she paid tribute to the TV icon, saying he was "so loved".
The former chat show host and Lily Savage star was laid to rest today near his home in Aldington, Kent, after his family announced he died "unexpectedly but peacefully" at the age of 67 on March 28.
Supporters lined the streets to say farewell as Paul's funeral cortege was driven through the streets, and famous friends, such as Ronnie Wood, Alan Carr and Julian Clary, who read the eulogy, attended the service.
