The TV Presenter and singer will be laid to rest at St Mary's Church in Woolton, in her home city of Liverpool, on Thursday August 20.

The Right Reverend Thomas Williams will conduct the service, which he said is due to be held at 1pm. Black died of a stroke after falling and hitting her head at her Spanish villa on August 1, aged 72.

Black's body has already been flown back to the UK in advance of the funeral, her publicist confirmed.

The star made a posthumous comeback to the UK music charts last week with her compilation album The Very Best Of.

Her husband, Bobby Willis, died in 1999.
