From Battersea to Birkenhead, fans of Paul O'Grady have begun lining the streets as they prepare to bid a tearful goodbye to he entertainer, whose funeral is taking place near his home in Kent today.

The popular comedian and presenter, whose For the love of dogs TV programme was watched by millions, will make his final journey flanked by a 'dogs guard of honour' at his home village of Aldington near Ashford.

The tribute will be formed from dogs from the Battersea Dogs and Cats home.


What an amazing tribute to a man with such a gentle heart and wicked sense of humour.

the mail is a big fan of hyperbole isn't it?
Are people really going to be "lining the streets" in places the funeral isnt i wonder?
i love the fact of the dog guard od honour though :)

Lol Bednobs - as if the streets from Birkenhead all the way down to Battersea will be lined full of people!!

I too like the thought of the dogs lining the way most fitting
