Amy Winehouse's ashes buried and headstone unveiled

The family of Amy Winehouse gathered together yesterday (September 16) just two days after what would have been her 29th birthday to bury her ashes and to reveal her headstone.

Writing on social networking site Twitter, her father Mitch explained that it was an "emotional" day: "Today we consecrated The memorial stone for Amy and my mother. It was an emotional and joyous day. Mitch."

Britain's The Sun newspaper reported that there were around 70 people in attendance at the ceremony in North London and that her newly unveiled headstone is black with pink inscription.

Last week not only marked the late singer's birthday, but the first anniversary of the launch of The Amy Winehouse Foundation and the organisation announced that it has raised a staggering £230,000 since its inception.
