Britain's television stars have said goodbye to the late actress Lynda Bellingham at her funeral in Somerset.
The 66-year-old's Loose Women co-hosts Coleen Nolan, Jane McDonald, Andrea McLean and Kate Thornton were among the hundreds of people who attended the service at St Bartholomew's Church in Crewkerne.
Christopher Biggins, wearing a bright pink suit and pale shirt, was accompanied by his partner, Neil Sinclair.
Asked about his suit, Biggins replied: "She (Lynda) would like this, put a smile on her face."
More than 100 members of the public lined the path outside the church to pay their respects.
Bellingham asked for a lively send-off, so her husband, Michael Pattemore, lined up a string of acts to make the funeral a Royal Variety-style celebration of the much-loved actress's life.
Her friend, former Archdeacon of London Peter Delaney MBE, led the service at the church, which holds 300 guests.
Julia Sawalha, Coronation Street's Helen Worth, Robert Lindsay, Giles Brandreth and Downton Abbey's Julian Fellowes were also among the attendees.
Bellingham's screen husband from the Oxo adverts, Michael Redfern was seen arriving at the church.

Fireworks were set off in the cemetery after the service.
The actress died of cancer in a London hospital last month after the star said she planned to end life-extending chemotherapy treatment.
Bellingham had said she wanted to spend one last Christmas with her family after the disease spread to her lungs and liver.
A memorial service will be held in London in February.
