Fans in Scotland mourn as Janey Godley's coffin is driven past on its way to her funeral, with many shedding tears.

Earlier today, the city of Edinburgh came together to bid a beautiful farewell to the late Scottish comedian Janey Godley. She may have passed away on November 2nd at the age of 63, but her legacy and impact continue to live on. As her hearse, adorned with her famous catchphrase "Frank, Get The Door!", made its way through the Royal Mile towards St Giles Cathedral, countless fans lined the streets to pay their respects.

Janey gained viral fame during the pandemic for her hilarious skits mimicking First Minister Nicola Sturgeon at Covid-19 briefings. Her witty sense of humor and sharp wit made her a regular on BBC radio and earned her praise from public figures such as Denise Welch and Nigella Lawson. She was also known for her vocal pro-trans stance and her fearless criticism of Donald Trump.

Accompanied by a 100-strong female Sound House choir and her close friend Shirley Doig, Janey's hearse made a stop at St Giles Cathedral for a moment of reflection. The choir serenaded her with a medley of songs, including "Movin' On Up" by Primal Scream and "One Day Like This" by Elbow. Janey's daughter Ashley Storrie, visibly moved by the proceedings, shared a heartfelt message on social media explaining the reasons for the public procession.

For Janey, it was important to share her journey with everyone and offer support to others battling ovarian cancer. Her daughter expressed her gratitude for all the love and support that Janey received, believing it kept her going until the end. As the hearse makes its way to Glasgow for a final tour of the two cities she loved, a private cremation will take place on Saturday.

As the streets of Edinburgh filled with hundreds of people, all there to say their final goodbye to Janey, multiple rounds of applause and roses were heard. People from far and wide, including Germany, came to honor her memory. User Mike McNulty shared, "A great send-off for Janey Godley in Edinburgh this afternoon..." while Angie Brown agreed, "Edinburgh gave Janey Godley a good send-off today!"

Janey's diagnosis with ovarian cancer in 2021 was public knowledge, and she used her platform to raise awareness until the very end. She passed away peacefully at the Prince and Princess of Wales Hospice in Glasgow, surrounded by her loved ones. Her daughter expressed her belief that the outpouring of love and support from fans around the world gave Janey more time.

Former First Minister of Scotland, Nicola Sturgeon, who later became friends with Janey, also shared a touching tribute on Instagram. She described Janey as a force of nature and one of the funniest people she had ever known. She recalled visiting her in the hospice a few weeks ago and being in stitches despite Janey's fragile state. Nicola also acknowledged Janey's kindness and the positive impact she made on the world.

Janey's legacy will continue to live on through her comedy and the memories she left behind. If you have a celebrity story, video, or pictures, you can get in touch with The Agency entertainment team via email, phone, or by visiting their website. They would love to hear from you.
