The beloved comedian, who passed away from ovarian cancer at 63, was celebrated with a public farewell in Edinburgh and Glasgow before her funeral at St Mary’s Cathedral.

Janey Godley, who died on November 2 after battling stage four ovarian cancer, was honored with a two-day 'final tour' through Edinburgh and Glasgow, the cities she cherished most.
Hundreds of fans gathered along Edinburgh's Royal Mile on Friday to pay tribute, showering her hearse with roses and participating in a minute's silence as a choir performed songs in her honor.
Her funeral took place on Saturday at St Mary’s Cathedral in Glasgow, with attendees encouraged to wear colorful attire, reflecting Godley’s vibrant personality and wishes.
