See pictures of the vibrant celebratory procession honouring celebrity photographer Marilyn Stafford

Marilyn, who captured Edith Piaf, Indira Gandhi, Rudolf Nureyev and Albert Einstein among her subjects, died on January 2 at the age of 97. Daughter Lina Clerke asked photographer Wayne Pilling to capture the scenes in Shoreham on Wednesday, January 11, as the town honoured one of the world's greatest celebrity photographers, and he has today kindly shared some of his pictures with SussexWorld.

Lina said: "A wooden funeral bier was pulled through the streets by her loved ones, musicians came together to play New Orleans Blues and other songs. Stories were shared and people danced in the sunshine. Passers by were amazed to see such a different sort of funeral, and people celebrating."

The sun burst forth to allow a unique and colourful funeral procession along Shoreham High Street. To read about Marilyn's life, see Mourning the Sussex photographer who captured Piaf, Indira Gandhi, Nureyev and Einstein
