Amy Winehouse has been cremated after a private funeral this afternoon (July 26).
The singer, who was found dead on Saturday (July 23) in her house in Camden, London at the age of 27, was mourned at a 45-minute memorial service at Edgwarebury Cemetery in Edgware.
Among the 300-400 mourners who were reported to have attended were Kelly Osbourne, a close friend of Winehouse, and Mark Ronson, who co-produced the singer’s hugely successful second album ‘Back To Black’. Ronson had described Winehouse as his “musical soulmate” in a recent tribute to the singer.
Winehouse‘s father Mitch read a eulogy aloud at the ceremony, which ended, according to BBC News, with the words: “Goodnight, my angel, sleep tight. Mummy and Daddy love you ever so much.”
