Former TOWIE star Jake Hall was laid to rest this afternoon at a Grade I-listed church in east London, with his two former partners among those leading the tributes.
Chloe Lewis and Misse Beqiri, mother of Mr Hall's eight-year-old daughter, River, joined family and friends at St Mary the Virgin in Wanstead for the emotional service.
Ms Lewis, who was in a relationship with Mr Hall for nearly a decade from when she was 16, arrived accompanied by influencer Georgie Fisher and her sister Abbie Morgan.
A Rolls-Royce hearse bearing floral arrangements spelling "Dad" and "Brother" led the cortege to the 18th century Church of England building.
