It is obvious she was much loved and will be missed. I think it was lovely and fun idea for them to put her favorite recipe on the back of the service card.

I liked the fact she went for a wicker basket instead of a coffin.

I love the wicker basket idea as well. I am going to have to remember that.

Same here Spurs & face --- nice idea for the wicker basket, very unique. And I never would have thought of putting a chili recipe on the back of an order of service!

Ok, after scrolling thru the pics of the EE stars at Wendy Richard's memorial, I just have to say...WTF was Stacey thinking??? Did she get those shoes at Fredericks of Hollywood? Was she charging for the afternoon? Shorts, those shoes and a black blazer? Really?

Isn't it perfectly normal to wear fetish shoes to a funeral?

oh wait...

No, no...that's funeral shoes to a fetish, Face... :lol:

I don't really see it as disrespectful, just out of place. Wendy doesn't care what people are wearing, but I guess Lacy just looks out of place and very young...and not in a good way. I guess inmature is a better description. And on top of everything, they look really uncomfortable!

[align=center]Wendy Richard's husband's claims
'EastEnders' actress Wendy Richard was never told her cancer was terminal and she was going to die, according to her husband John Burns.
18 March 2009[/align]
'EastEnders' actress Wendy Richard was never told her cancer was terminal, claims her husband John Burns. John, 45, said he only realised his wife was going to die minutes before she passed away on February 26. He said: "The first I knew she wasn't going to make it was about four minutes before she died. At no point were we told that the cancer was terminal."

John's revelations counter previous press reports Wendy had known her cancer was terminal since October 2008. Describing his final moments with Wendy - who played one of the longest running characters in EastEnders, Pauline Fowler, over 22 years - before she succumbed to cancer aged 65.

John recalled: "The nurses who were usually so upbeat seemed subdued and shocked. The doctor started talking about Wendy's blood cells and I asked, 'what are you saying?' That's when he told me, 'she isn't going to make it.' I held her hand and stroked her face, and the first tear that dropped hit my arm, then rolled onto hers. It was like it was all happening in slow motion. Then the nurse said to me, 'She's gone'. It was so sudden, I was so sure she was coming home."

Wendy had previously survived two bouts of breast cancer and had just finished filming a documentary about living with cancer called 'Wendy Richard: To Tell you the Truth'.

I am not surprised. He is more then likely in shock still after the death and not thinking straight. It took me a long time to get events sorted out in my brain after my dad died. I still don't remember all of the funeral to this day.
