The cortege is to travel along the seafront in Bray, starting at the Harbour Bar and continuing to the other end of the Strand Road – before continuing on to a private burial. It will pass by her former home on the Strand Road, Montebello, where she lived for 15 years and where people have been leaving flowers since her death. The Irish Grammy-winning singer, aged 56, was found unresponsive by police at her south-east London home on July 26.
