Stars and friends paid tribute to TV personality and former Sussex schoolboy Christopher Price at his funeral yesterday.

Kylie Minogue sent an arrangement of flowers to the service for the 34-year-old host of entertainment show Liquid News, who was found dead at his home two weeks ago.

Mr Price, who was a pupil at Worth Abbey School, near Crawley, was remembered by his former house chaplain Christopher Jamison at the service at the Brompton Oratory in Kensington.

The service was attended by 250 family members and friends.

Recalling a dance Mr Price had performed in a school musical, Mr Jamison, who is now headteacher, said one reviewer had written: "In spite of appearances, Christopher Price is quite a mover."

He said: "'Quite a mover' is an epitaph that sums up Christopher's success at school and in his career."

Among the mourners was former Brookside actress Claire Sweeney, who was due to co-host coverage of the Eurovision Song Contest with Price later this month.

Radio 1 DJ Chris Moyles and comedienne Jenny Eclair also attended.

After the Mass, Mr Price was cremated at a private ceremony at Mortlake Crematorium in London.
