Ian ‘H’ Watkins and Jade Thirlwall among mourners arriving at Vivienne’s funeral

Mourners including Steps singer Ian ‘H’ Watkin and former Little Mix star Jade Thirlwall have begun to arrive for the funeral of Drag Race UK winner The Vivienne.

Watkins, wearing a red tartan suit, walked towards the church with comedian Jayde Adams, who wore a bright green coat and trilby hat.

TV personality Kim Woodburn and Marcus Collins were also among the mourners arriving at the church.

The service for the TV star, real name James Lee Williams, who died earlier this month, is being held at a church in Denbighshire, North Wales.

A horse-drawn carriage arrived outside the church for The Vivienne’s funeral.

A coffin inside was topped with a white floral arrangement. Floral tributes in a hearse read ‘Vivienne’ and ‘Son’.

Many wore green for the service and Vivienne Westwood badges were worn on the lapels of some of the men’s suits.

Williams shot to wider fame after winning the first series of RuPaul’s Drag Race UK. They competed in the seventh season of RuPaul’s Drag Race All Stars in 2022 and finished third on Dancing On Ice in 2023.
