Paul O'Grady pays tribute to his 'great friend' and 'fellow hellraiser' Cilla Black.

“Ta-ra girl, I’ll see you on the highway” – comedian Paul O’Grady said, thanking Cilla Black for all the good times they shared as he said goodbye to the much-loved singer and TV presenter at her funeral.

Thousands of fans and mourners packed the streets outside St Mary’s Church in the Woolton suburb of Liverpool and celebrities including Sir Tom Jones, Sir Cliff Richard and Lord Lloyd-Webber joined Cilla’s friends and family to remember a young woman who found fame in the halcyon days of British pop in the 1960s and went on to become one of the nation’s favourite TV presenters.
