Family, friends, and fans pay final respects to Paul Daniels

A private funeral service for magician Paul Daniels took place yesterday with dozens of friends and relatives turning out to pay their final respects to the iconic English entertainer.

The hearse arrived at Chilterns Crematorium, Buckinghamshire shortly after 12.15pm, as his wife, cloaked in black, exited a limousine to lead the tearful funeral procession.

While the mourners prepared to take the seats for the service, the ivory-white coffin marked with two joker playing cards was carried into Milton Chapel.
