Yet with second-by-second coverage on TV, thousands of people lining the streets of London and Essex and flowers thrown Princess Diana-style on to her vintage Rolls-Royce hearse, there was nothing run-of-the-mill about her funeral. If the reality TV star’s send-off seemed at times positively unreal, if in the eyes of some it occasionally skirted close to the absurd, the emotion from her public was genuine. The moment that reduced hundreds to tears came towards the end of the service at St John the Baptist Church, in Buckhurst Hill, Essex. A film clip of Jade ended with her saying: ‘That’s it from me. See you around maybe. Bye.’
The personal goodbye, recorded shortly before her death from cervical cancer on Mothering Sunday, followed a montage of photographs of the star, accompanied by The Beatles’ She Loves You, shown inside the church and relayed on a giant screen outside. Before that, her widower, Jack Tweed, 21, described the loss felt by him and Jade’s two young sons. In a poem, he said: ‘My life will never be the same without you by my side. 'Grief almost too much to bear, pain difficult to hide. But when we look into the sky for the brightest star above, Bobby, me and Freddie will send you all our love.’
