Linda Nolan family share her funeral invitation with heartbreaking detail

The Nolan family has sent fans an emotional plea as they prepare to bury Linda Nolan.

The well-known family has invited guests to a celebration of the singer’s life, which culminated in a success in the 1970s with the help of the Nolan Sisters. At the age of 65, Linda passed away on January 15. She had been suffering from breast cancer for 20 years and died from double pneumonia.

Sharing the invitation on Linda’s Instagram, the star’s sisters Anne, 74, Denise, 72, Maureen, 69, and Coleen, 59, requested that fans join them to celebrate the “remarkable life” of their sister.

Dublin-born Linda is set to be laid to rest in her ‘ spiritual home ‘ of Blackpool. After moving to the town in 1972, the sisters first gained notoriety at the seaside resort.

The Nolan family invites everyone to join them in celebrating Linda Nolan’s extraordinary life, who passed away peacefully on January 15, 2025, along with an image of the funeral invitation.

Linda “was a beacon of light, strength, and unwavering love,” inspiring everyone she met, as well as millions of people worldwide. Our hearts are aching from her absence, but the joy, optimism, and kindness she freely shared will carry on.

“‘ Linda’s funeral service will take place on Saturday, 1st February 2025, at St. Paul’s Church, Honister Avenue, Blackpool, at 10: 30 am. Everyone who knew Linda, or whose lives she touched, is invited to join us to pay her respects as we remember her remarkable life. The public and the general public are invited to gather outside the church for the funeral, and the more the merrier, in true Linda spirit!

It continued: “St. Paul’s Church holds a deeply special place in Linda’s heart. It is where she married the love of her life, Brian Hudson, with whom she shared 26 wonderful years of marriage. Brian was Linda’s rock, her soulmate, and the love of her life, just as she was his. Linda fought back when Brian tragically passed away in 2007, but she never lost hope in his sacrifice. Linda also said her final farewell to Brian at St. Paul’s, where they had exchanged their vows, in the same church where they both had sung their last songs.

The post concluded by stating that Linda is finally “at peace” with her husband, and that the couple will hold a private service before agreeing to raise money for Trinity Hospice, a charity that has always been close to Linda’s heart.

The announcement comes after Coleen told the Mirror that Linda had eaten the chocolates she had brought and conversed with her friends and family almost all of the time. Before she passed, Linda also discussed what she wanted for her funeral, with Coleen adding” She wanted everyone in black, wearing mantillas, those little lace veils that cover your face. I remember saying, “You are joking, Linda! If I see all my sisters in mantillas, I’m going to laugh the whole way through the funeral! We’ve decided not to do that, but we are wearing black”.

Coleen says she remembers Linda’s last words to her fondly: “When I left that evening, I told her I’d come and visit the next day and she said”, Oh, you don’t have to “and I said”, I know, but I will “and then she said, ‘ Col, I really love you'”.
