Inside Robin Windsor’s funeral: Glitter coffin carried by Aljaz Skorjanec, eulogy by Lisa Riley and Strictly star’s kind final gesture


The funeral of Robin Windsor took place yesterday, with many Strictly stars in attendance to pay their respects

This was followed by a performance of Somewhere Over the Rainbow by West End musical star Kerry Ellis and a speech by Coronation Street’s Lisa Riley. Lisa, who Robin partnered on Strictly in 2012, delivered a touching tribute to the star – and his signature fake tan. In a kind final gesture, guests were also invited to donate to mental health charity SANE.
