'Everyone loves Linda, everyone. She was such a fun, bubbly, fabulous person and made me laugh. 'We had the best memories ever. We really did. Very special memories. Many a time drunk, when I wasn't pregnant, I used to do her makeup as well. I would put her in full glam. 'We had so many different memories traveling the country having a laugh, getting into mischief  - that was our favourite thing to do.'.

Linda passed away on 15th January, aged 65 at Blackpool Victoria Hospital. She died from double pneumonia, where she entered into end-of-life care and then into a coma. She was living with secondary breast cancer, which had spread to her hip, liver and brain, but cancer was not the cause of death. The surviving sisters of the Irish eighties pop group - Maureen, 71, Anne, 74, Denise, 72, and Coleen, 59, - have raised £2,670 for Trinity Hospice.

Speaking to MailOnline at her funeral, Charlotte said: 'I'm in full glam for you, Linda. She loved me in full glam. I don't think I will look like this after the service'. Linda will be laid to rest in her 'spiritual home' of Blackpool, where the Nolans found fame after moving to the town in 1972, and where they lived for much of their lives, once even recording a single called Blackpool about the football club.

The funeral service, which was due to begin at 10.30am, was held in the same church on Honister Avenue where Linda married her beloved husband Brian Hudson in 1981. The church is also where she held Brian's funeral, after she lost him to skin cancer in 2007 when he was 60 years old. A private service followed at a crematorium nearby, with Linda laid to rest with Brian's ashes. Her sister Coleen previously explained how they had decided on Linda's final resting place, telling The Mirror: 'My first thought after she died was to put Brian’s ashes with Linda’s.

'So that’s what we’re doing. In life they were never apart, so I’m glad they’ll be together again.'. In the wake of her death, Linda's sisters Anne, 74, Denise, 72, Maureen, 69, and Coleen, 59, extended an invitation to her fans to say their goodbyes and celebrate 'her remarkable life'. Fans gathered outside St Paul's in designated areas, joining in with the family's final farewell. An official invitation shared on social media last week read: 'The Nolan family invites everyone to join them in celebrating the extraordinary life of Linda Nolan.

'Linda was a beacon of light, strength and unwavering love who inspired everyone she met, in addition to millions around the world. 'Her absence leaves an ache in our hearts but her legacy will live on through the joy, hope and kindness she shared so freely. 'Everyone who knew Linda or whose lives she touched, is welcome to come and pay their respects as we remember her remarkable life. 'Fans and public are welcome to gather outside the church for the funeral - and in true Linda spirit, the more the merrier!'.
