Mourners including Steps singer Ian “H” Watkins and TV personality Kim Woodburn have begun to arrive for the funeral of Drag Race UK star The Vivienne.
The service for James Lee Williams, who died earlier this month aged 32, is being held at a church in Denbighshire, north Wales.
Watkins, wearing a red tartan suit, walked towards the church with comedian Jayde Adams, who wore a bright green coat and trilby hat, and other friends.
A horse-drawn carriage arrived outside the church for The Vivienne’s funeral, with a coffin inside topped with a white floral arrangement.
Floral tributes in a hearse read “Vivienne” and “Son”.
During their career, The Vivienne also competed on an all-winners season of the RuPaul franchise in the US in 2022, the only UK contestant for that series.
They also starred in BBC Three show The Vivienne Takes On Hollywood in 2020, and appeared on Channel 4’s Celebrity Hunted For Stand Up To Cancer in 2022.
Williams, who was born in Wales, adopted their drag name as they were known for wearing Vivienne Westwood clothing.
