Derek Draper funeral: Kate Garraway says final goodbye as she's supported by GMB co-stars


Good Morning Britain presenter Kate Garraway will attend the funeral of her husband, Derek Draper, after he tragically passed away last month following a courageous health battle

He had suffered complications following a cardiac arrest in December, and Kate announced his passing on Instagram on 5 January. The mum-of-two signed off the message by adding: “Rest gently and peacefully now Derek, my love, I was so lucky to have you in my life." Many of Kate's famous pals and colleagues are expected to attend Derek's funeral - which Kate invited members of the press to attend - today, including fellow GMB presenters Susanna Reid, Ben Shepherd, Alex Beresford and Charlotte Hawkins.
