JANEY Godley's funeral is taking place in Glasgow on Saturday morning with a number of people in attendance.
The funeral was held at St Mary’s Cathedral on Great Western Road on after hundreds lined the streets as a hearse carrying her coffin travelled through the centre of Edinburgh on Friday.
It started at 10am, with the hearse set to leave the cathedral at 11.30am to make its way towards a crematorium, where a private service will then be held.
The comedian died on November 2 aged 63 after receiving palliative treatment for terminal cancer.
Writing on Godley's social media accounts, her daughter Ashley Storrie told fans "you're all welcome," adding: "It's what she wanted."

The comedian asked for bright colours to be worn instead of traditional funeral attire, as a way of celebrating her life.
Why are you making commenting on The National only available to subscribers?
We know there are thousands of National readers who want to debate, argue and go back and forth in the comments section of our stories. We’ve got the most informed readers in Scotland, asking each other the big questions about the future of our country.
Unfortunately, though, these important debates are being spoiled by a vocal minority of trolls who aren’t really interested in the issues, try to derail the conversations, register under fake names, and post vile abuse.
So that’s why we’ve decided to make the ability to comment only available to our paying subscribers. That way, all the trolls who post abuse on our website will have to pay if they want to join the debate – and risk a permanent ban from the account that they subscribe with.
The conversation will go back to what it should be about – people who care passionately about the issues, but disagree constructively on what we should do about them. Let’s get that debate started!
Callum Baird, Editor of The National
