London Giant screens will be set up outside St John Baptist Church in Buckhurst Hill, Essex, for Jade Goody’s funeral to be broadcast live.

The 27-year-old died peacefully in her sleep, while mum Jackiey Budden and hubby Jack Tweed held on to her hands at her Essex home early on March 22 – Mother’s Day.

According to her friend and spokesman Max Clifford, the funeral of the Brit reality TV star, who was diagnosed with cervical cancer, would be “a celebration of her life”.

He revealed the ceremony would be the final "Jade Goody Production”, full of ups and downs that characterised her wedding and the christening of her sons Bobby, 5, and Freddie, 4.

Jade had planned her final resting place during her extremely painful ordeal after the disease spread to her entire body.

She wanted to be buried at her favourite church, and had insisted that all those who wanted to attend her funeral were welcome.

The memorial service, expected to be held within two weeks, will see the day beginning with a cortege setting off from her childhood home in Bermondsey.

"Jade wanted a celebration of her life. It will be very much a Jade Goody Production with Jade doing her own thing her own way," the Telegraph quoted Clifford as saying of the service.

"It will be a celebration, but of course there will be a lot of tears," he added.

its sad that jade has passed and so young leaving 2 small boys...but she is not the only one to have passed away from cancer and how can anyone say she was braver than most,have you seen other cancer sufferes and what they are and have gone through??? and why are some ppl calling her the ppls princess,sorry but that title belongs to princess Diana,princess Diana did good for the world,the only ppl jade goody helped were herself and her own,the cancer awareness was brought to light by campaigners not jade she just agreed with it,its sad when anyone dies and i have lost family to cancer and other illness aswell,but just because jade goody has been in the public eye,does not mean she is better than anyone else and not the only one to suffer from cancer,do any of you have any thoughts or compassion for children who have died of cancer and in pain??no did not think so,this has now gone way over the top!!!

She faced death with more bravery than most. Say what you want about her but she was a hero for what she did for her kids. She did plenty for society by raising awareness of cervical cancer. She will save many lives as her legacy. R.I.P
