Tears as Anna Nicole finally laid to rest

Tragic Anna Nicole Smith was finally laid to rest today alongside her son Daniel, but reportedly only after a failed last-ditch attempt by her estranged mother to halt her burial in the Bahamas.

The voluptuous blonde, whose sudden death three weeks ago aged just 39 echoed that of her lifelong idol Marilyn Monroe, went to her grave wearing a pink beaded gown and tiara worthy of the Hollywood starlet – and apparently clutching an urn containing her dead oil tycoon husband’s ashes.
