Dublin-born singer Nolan died on January 15 at the age of 65 in the resort’s hospital, surrounded by her family.
The singer was admitted to Blackpool Victoria Hospital with double pneumonia earlier this month, before going into a coma, according to her manager Dermot McNamara.
Her pink sparkly coffin was carried from St Paul’s Church today to applause from members of the public who had lined the streets.
