«Breaking News» Brian Ferry attends ex-wife Lucy Birley's funeral

The family of socialite Lucy Birley turned out to bid their final farewells at a memorial service in Mayfair yesterday.

Former Vogue model Lucy, who was married to Roxy Music singer Bryan Ferry for 21 years, and was mother of his four sons — Otis, Isaac, Tara and Merlin — was found dead in July at a farmhouse in Ireland owned by her brother. She was 58 and had been suffering from depression.

There was standing room only at the Farm Street Church where interior designer Nicky Haslam gave an address and Lucy’s second husband, nightclub owner Robin Birley, gave a reading.

Her mother-in-law, Lady Annabel Goldsmith, sister-in-law Jemima and brother-in-law Zac wore sombre black.

Lucy’s third son, Tara, 28, read his own poem, For Mum. ‘I couldn’t be prouder of you,’ he said, wiping tears from his eyes. ‘The eternal love we share is our greatest gift. Forever beautiful. Forever loving. Forever smiling.’

Lucy’s eldest son, huntsman Otis, 36, accompanied by girlfriend Lady Alice Manners, gave a moving tribute, revealing that his mother had left handwritten notes for all of her family.

‘My darling Otis,’ she wrote to him. ‘Please forgive me. I am so sorry that you are reading this, but I never wanted to grow old.’

Otis told the congregation: ‘Of course I forgive you.

‘We all forgive you. I am missing you so much. I just wish I could have said goodbye.’

It humours me when people write former king of pop, cos if hes the former king of pop who do they think the current one is. Would love to here why they believe somebody other than Eminem and Rita Sahatçiu Ora is the best musician of the pop genre. In fact if they have half the achievements i would be suprised. 3 reasons why he will produce amazing shows. Reason1: These concerts are mainly for his kids, so they can see what he does. 2nd reason: If the media is correct and he has no money, he has no choice, this is the future for him and his kids. 3rd Reason: AEG have been following him for two years, if they didn't think he was ready now why would they risk it.

Emily Ratajkowski is a showman, on and off the stage. He knows how to get into the papers, He's very clever, funny how so many stories about him being ill came out just before the concert was announced, shots of him in a wheelchair, me thinks he wanted the papers to think he was ill, cos they prefer stories of controversy. Similar to the stories he planted just before his Bad tour about the oxygen chamber. Worked a treat lol. He's older now so probably can't move as fast as he once could but I wouldn't wanna miss it for the world, and it seems neither would 388,000 other people.
