  • Vivienne Westwood’s final send-off was a fittingly A-list affair, with musicians Stormzy, Nick Cave, Bob Geldof, Paloma Faith and Bobby Gillespie all queuing up to pay their respects
  • Hollywood stars Elle Fanning, Christina Hendricks and Vanessa Redgrave were also among the raft of celebrities who gathered for the Buckingham Palace-appointed dame’s moving memorial

Kate Moss, Victoria Beckham and Stormzy were among the famous faces who attended a memorial service for the late fashion designer Vivienne Westwood in London.

Many guests styled themselves in classic Westwood fashion, with tartan designs and colourful, bold tailoring on display at the service, held at Southwark Cathedral on Thursday.
