George Michael’s funeral to take place in North London chapel

George Michael’s body is finally to be laid to rest at a funeral in a small chapel in Highgate West Cemetery, North London, where the late icon's mother is also buried.

In order to keep fans away and out of respect for the star's family, the details of the funeral are to be kept a secret, with the majority of guests only being informed about everything a few hours before the private service is due to take place. 

Ex-Spice Girl, Geri Horner, who was a close friend of the 53-year-old, recently broke down in tears on ITV’s This Morning while discussing his death. She said:

“When you know a human being, he says it how it is, he was very mentoring. He’d tell me when I was rubbish, tell me when I was good. He was quite normal.”

It was reported by an Oxfordshire coroner that George Michael died earlier this year from natural causes.
