Linda Nolan laid to rest in sparkling pink coffin as sister Coleen and Shane Richie among mourners

Singer and actor Linda Nolan has been laid to rest in her beloved Blackpool, after being brought to her funeral service in a pink sparkly coffin.

A framed photo of Linda was placed on an easel outside the church with mourners signing a book of condolence.

Denise said the diagnosis, along with losing her husband Brian and sister, Bernie, could have “destroyed” a lesser person.
