The family and friends of Amy Winehouse have paid their final respects to the singer at a crematorium in north London.
The cremation in Golders Green followed a private service held at Edgwarebury Cemetery in Edgware earlier.
Music producer Mark Ronson and TV star Kelly Osbourne were among the famous faces at the two services.
Osbourne and others were seen wearing their hair in Winehouse’s favoured beehive style.
Reporters and fans besieged the entrance of Golders Green Crematorium as Winehouse’s friends and relatives arrived for her cremation around 1400.
Traffic driving by the crematorium slowed as pavements swelled with police, onlookers and members of the media.
As the mourners gathered there was no sign of Winehouse’s body arriving.
Unconfirmed reports said a private ambulance carrying her remains used another entrance of the building.
Mourners have now moved on to Southgate Progressive Synagogue in north London for a private gathering.
The family will hold a two-day Shiva – a traditional period of mourning in the Jewish faith – for the late soul star.
Winehouse died on Wednesday. She was 27
