Sir Michael Parkinson and former Rolling Stone Bill Wyman were among the mourners at the funeral of film director Michael Winner today.
Winner, who made more than 30 films including the blockbuster 'Death Wish' series, died at home in Kensington, London, on Monday following a lengthy battle with liver disease.
A statement issued by his office said: "Michael Winner was buried today in a moving service at Willesden Jewish Cemetery, North London. If Michael had been alive to film it, he would have said, 'Perfect, darling, perfect'.
