The Big Brother star's funeral procession will make its way from where she grew up in Bermondsey, south east London, to her last home in Upshire, Essex.

Family and friends will then attend St John the Baptist Church, in Buckhurst Hill, Essex, for the funeral.

Publicist Max Clifford, who represented Goody, said the funeral would be "a very Jade Goody event".

She will be buried at a private service after the funeral.

Goody died at home at the age of 27 on March 22 after losing a battle with cervical cancer.

The mother-of two married Jack Tweed, 21, at a ceremony in a hotel near Hatfield Heath, Essex, on February 22 after being told that she had only weeks to live.

Mr Clifford said he and Tweed would be among people paying tribute at the service.

He added: "I'm sure it will be a very emotional celebration and tribute to a very special young lady.

"I think Jade would want people to be laughing and crying and I'm sure they will be."
