The funeral of English celebrity Paula Yates was held last Saturday in an intimate 12th Century church close to the home she once shared with former rock star Bob Geldof.

Yates and Geldof were divorced in 1996, shortly before Yates gave birth to her fourth child, Tiger Lily, with former INXS front man, Michael Hutchence. Hutchence was found dead in a Sydney hotel room in 1997.

The cause of death is still unknown, however British media reports claim that an empty vodka bottle and a partly empty bottle of painkillers were found near her body.
