Paul O'Grady's Funeral: Fans And Their Dogs Line Streets To Pay Tribute

Paul O’Grady fans and their dogs lined the streets in Aldington, Kent, on Thursday ahead of his funeral.
The TV star, who found fame as drag queen Lily Savage, is being laid to rest after he died suddenly in March at the age of 67.
The coffin is being taken from O’Grady’s home to St Rumwold’s Church in nearby Bonnington in the early afternoon.
His private service is set to feature a guard of honour with dogs from Battersea Dogs & Cats Home.

What a fitting and lovely send off to Paul O'Grady xx

[@barryphillips5996]

A lovely compassionate man, and the dogs knew it🙏

[@irenepwheeldon]

The world was made a better place because he lived, he cared for people and he loved animals and their welfare, we should all learn lessons from him God bless

R.I.P. Paul, thank you for everything you did to promote animal welfare and for the love, compassion and empathy you showed to people and animals and for all the good causes you supported. You were, and always will be, a national treasure and you are very sadly, dearly missed 🐶🐕🐩🐱🐎🐖🐑🐘🐓🦉🐾🐾💜❤ xx

Beautiful words Chris . Dedicated to Paul James O’Grady MBE D.L ( should’ve been a “SIR” ) 🌹♥️🌹♥️🌹♥️🌹♥️🌹♥️🌹♥️🌹♥️ Near a shady wall a rose once grew,
Budded and blossomed in God’s free light,
Watered and fed by the morning dew,
Shedding it’s sweetness day and night. As it grew and blossomed fair and tall,
Slowly rising to loftier height,
It came to a crevice in the wall
Through which there shone a beam of light. Onward it crept with added strength
With never a thought of fear or pride,
It followed the light through the crevice’s length
And unfolded itself on the other side. The light, the dew, the broadening view
Were found the same as they were before,
And it lost itself in beauties new,
Breathing it’s fragrance more and more. Shall claim of death cause us to grieve
And make our courage faint and fall?
Nay! Let us faith and hope receive-
The rose still grows beyond the wall, Scattering fragrance far and wide
Just as it did in days of yore,
Just as it did on the other side,
Just as it will forever-more. 🌹🌹🌹🌹🌹🌹🌹🌹🌹🌹🌹🌹🌹❤️🌹❤️🌹❤️🌹❤️🌹❤️🌹❤️🌹❤️🙏🏻🌹🙏🏻🌹🙏🏻🌹🙏🏻🌹🙏🏻🌹🙏🏻🌹🙏🏻 SINCERE CONDOLENCES, FROM H.R.H PRINCE LOUIS XAIVER DE LUXEMBOURG , OF THE ROYAL & GRAND DUCAL HOUSE OF NASSAU-WEILBURG, PRINCE OF THE GRAND DUCHY OF LUXEMBOURG 🇱🇺 🙏🏻

Sadly missed. An absolute genuine down to earth person. You had such great qualities that made you one in a million... Compassion, empathy, humility, humbleness, generosity and above all kindness. You have given so much for the causes you championed. Your humour is certainly one in kind too, witty, sharp and so very funny. Rest in peace.
