Hundreds gather to mourn loss of model’s life

PHOTOGRAPHERS stood a respectable distance away to take shots of Katy French’s white-rose-sprayed coffin being taken into the church yesterday.

They stood on ladders and used long-distance lenses under the trees at the side of the church while reporters joined those unable to gain entry to the packed building to watch the service relayed on two small screens.

There was a bigger screen inside the church and it was used to show a slideshow of the model’s life put together by her younger sister, Jill.
