Celebrity Coleen Nolan has wiped away tears as she left the funeral of sister Linda. The 59-year-old - who lives in North Staffordshire - has now left the Blackpool church service as applauding well-wishers lined the street outside.

Coleen had walked into the church with sisters Anne, Maureen, and Denise.

The family wore black but some had pink ribbons pinned to their outfits or carried pink handbags. They lined the path as the coffin, topped with a floral arrangement, was carried into the church.

Celebrities attending today's service have included Tommy Cannon, Paul Chuckle, and Shane Richie.

Linda and her sisters Coleen, Bernie, Maureen, Anne and Denise formed the Nolans, recording hits like Gotta Pull Myself Together and I’m In The Mood For Dancing in the late 70s and early 80s. Bernie died of breast cancer in 2013 aged 52. Dublin-born Linda died last month.
