Linda Nolan Laid to Rest in Pink Glittery Coffin as Celebrities Pay Emotional Tribute.

Linda Nolan was laid to rest in an emotional ceremony at St. Paul’s Church in Blackpool on Saturday, following her tragic passing on January 15, 2025, at the age of 65. The beloved singer, known for her vibrant personality and resilience, was honored with a pink glittery coffin, reflecting her lively spirit.

Linda, who battled breast cancer for over 20 years and succumbed to double pneumonia, was surrounded by family, friends, and celebrities who gathered to pay their respects. Her sister Coleen Nolan, 59, visibly emotional, arrived wearing a black furry coat, wiping away tears as she joined her sisters Maureen, Anne, and Denise to bid farewell.

The funeral procession featured seven pallbearers, all male members of the Nolan family and close friends, who carried Linda into the church. Denise Nolan, who lived with Linda in her final days and accompanied her to Blackpool Victoria Hospital, delivered a heartfelt eulogy. She affectionately recalled Linda's nickname, "Auntie Ginda," referencing her love for a gin or two, and celebrated her indomitable spirit:

"She was the life and soul of the party. Her sense of humor was unmatched, and no party will ever be the same without her. Linda always said, 'I'm living with cancer, not dying of cancer,' refusing to let it define her life."

Denise concluded with touching words: "It's time to rest now, Linda. The battle is over; you are free." The ceremony also featured Linda’s song, When It's Over, playing as a tribute.

Notable attendees included Shane Richie, 60, Linda’s former brother-in-law, who arrived early to pay his respects, and Grammy-nominated singer Lisa Matthew from the band Milkshake. Paul Harlan, 77, the last surviving Chuckle Brother, also attended, reminiscing about their cherished memories together:

"She was just a wonderful person, fun and bubbly. The world is a darker place without her."

Linda Nolan’s funeral was a heartfelt celebration of her life, marked by tears, laughter, and fond memories shared by those who loved her.
