Janey Godley's funeral has taken place in the West End this morning.

The funeral was held at St Mary’s Cathedral on Great Western Road on Saturday after hundreds lined the streets as a hearse carrying her coffin travelled through the centre of Edinburgh on Friday.

It started at 10am, with the hearse leaving the cathedral at 11.30am to make its way towards a crematorium, where a private service will then be held.

The comedian died on November 2 aged 63 after receiving palliative treatment for terminal cancer.

Writing on Janey's social media accounts, her daughter Ashley Storrie told fans "you're all welcome", adding: "It's what she wanted."

Janey asked for bright colours to be worn instead of traditional funeral attire, as a way of celebrating her life.

According to LBC, as the funeral came to a close one attendee could be heard shouting: "Frank, get the door!"
