On Monday, January 27, mourners gathered at the funeral of James Lee Williams, better known as drag performer The Vivienne. The 32-year-old was laid to rest in the north of Wales after being found dead at their home in Cheshire earlier in the month.

Photos obtained by The Daily Mail show that Danny Beard, who won the fourth season of Drag Race UK, wore a jacket and pants covered in Vivienne Westwood logos to the funeral, a nod to the deceased’s love of the designer brand.

Famous names including Steps singer Ian “H” Watkins, TV personality Kim Woodburn and Singer Jade Thirlwall were among the mourners

Williams, 32, who was born in Wales, adopted their drag name because they were known for wearing Vivienne Westwood clothing. The winner of the fourth UK Drag Race series, Danny Beard, wore a jacket and trousers covered with Vivienne Westwood logos and walked to the church with Coronation Street actress Hayley Tamaddon.
