Beloved singer and cancer campaigner Linda Nolan was laid to rest in a touching ceremony at St Paul’s Church in Blackpool. Family, friends, and fans gathered to celebrate her remarkable life and legacy.

The funeral of Linda Nolan was held today at St Paul's Church in Blackpool , with family and friends paying their respects and celebrating her 'remarkable life'. The public were invited to join the service at 10:30 am on Saturday. Nolan married her husband, Brian Hudson, in the same church over two decades ago and said goodbye to him there after his death in 2007. The Dublin-born singer passed away on January 15th at the age of 65 in Blackpool Victoria Hospital, surrounded by loved ones.

Her sister, Anne, announced on Instagram that they would be laying their wonderful sister to rest this weekend. She clarified any confusion regarding the church service and the crematorium, stating that everyone is welcome to attend both. While acknowledging that seating might be limited due to the size of the venues and the large family, Anne warmly invited those who wished to pay their respects to stand. The Nolan family's official Instagram page described Linda as a 'beloved sister, friend and entertainer,' a 'symbol of hope, humour and resilience,' and welcomed anyone who knew Linda or whose lives she touched to the funeral. They are raising funds for Trinity Hospice, a cause Linda supported, and requested that donations and condolences be sent to a dedicated memorial page. Linda, known for her work with The Nolans, alongside her sisters Coleen, Maureen, Bernie, Denise, and Anne, had been a passionate campaigner and fundraiser for cancer awareness. Diagnosed with breast cancer in 2005, she continued to fight for the cause. Earlier this month, Linda was admitted to Blackpool Victoria Hospital with double pneumonia and subsequently fell into a coma. Charlotte Dawson, speaking before the funeral, fondly remembered Linda as someone who 'touched so many hearts' and 'lit up every room.' She shared cherished memories of traveling and having fun with Linda, highlighting their close bond and the joy they brought each other. Guests at the church received a commemorative order of service, featuring nostalgic photos of Linda and a touching passage titled 'Memories.' This passage emphasized the enduring nature of memories, reminding everyone that they remain precious and unyielding. At the service, Linda's sister Denise Nolan-Anderson delivered a heartfelt eulogy, recalling Linda's love for premieres, her glamorous sense of style, and her ability to be the life of the party. She spoke about Linda's courage in facing adversity, particularly her cancer diagnosis and the loss of her husband and sister. Denise emphasized how Linda chose to channel her pain into helping others, raising millions for cancer research. The funeral procession was met with applause as the hearse carrying a pink glittery coffin arrived at St Paul's. Linda's sisters, Anne, Maureen, Coleen and Denise, along with other family members, walked towards the church, demonstrating their deep affection and unity. Several celebrities attended the service, including comedian Tommy Cannon, singer Lisa Maffia, and Coronation Street actress Jodie Prenger. Paul Elliott, known as Paul Chuckle, paid tribute to Linda, recalling their shared experiences in pantomimes and charity functions
