His father Ronald was joined by his five children at the service – they are also mourning McQueen’s mother, who died at the beginning of the month.

McQueen was discovered hanged in a wardrobe at his £2 million Mayfair home by his cleaner on the eve of his mother’s funeral on February 11.

An inquest into his death was told that he left a suicide note for his loved ones, which is believed to have been found at the scene.

Friends said he had locked himself away and refused to get out of bed after his mother Joyce, to whom he was extremely close, died on February 2.
