    I am American so I was not familiar with Cilla Black. I have learned so much about her in the last few days.. and wept during this funeral. She seemed like such a wonderul women. Wonderful to the core. So rare. I am so sad for the loss everyone feels in the UK and Liverpool. May she rest peacefully.

      +Christine Smylie Yes, funerals can be very happy tributes; very happy memories of a great life; no point in being too sad. Here in Ireland we have the great comfort of a Wake. That is where the whole neighborhood visit and praise the "corpse" more than they ever did when he/she was alive. "Never did anything wrong, great man" etc.
      Good stuff though.

      +Dan Harrison King I think all funerals, well here in Ireland, wakes too, but all funerals should be tributes to the person that we have lost. We do it well in Ireland, totally the same as this ceremony for Cilla; tributes, stories, memories and above all the joy of a life. That is how we do it. Okay, a few moments of sadness but more moments of joy and happiness and good memories and then together as family, the basic unit of our lives, a kind of sacred space: family

      I was very impressed with his sense of humour . I think the priest is Bishop Tom Williams , the Auxillary Bishop in the Archdiocese of Liverpool . His boss , Archbishop Malcolm McMahon had only fairly recently been promoted from Bishop of Nottingham to Archbishop of Liverpool so was new to the city , Bishop Tom apparently knew Cilla's Brother and grew up in the same area of North Liverpool .

      ​@@debowiec3 Paul O'Grady never pandered to anyone. He did the eulogy from the heart as he and Cilla were the best of friends and he loved her and continued to miss her up till the end.
