A huge X Factor fan was driven to his final farewell in a Rolls-Royce once owned by Simon Cowell.
The funeral of Albert Harper, 47, brought roads around his Sussex home to a standstill as hundreds of mourners gathered to celebrate his life.
Among the floral tributes were ones of singer Susan Boyle, a KFC inspired design and a bottle of Joop perfume.
The huge procession brought roads in the area to a standstill for around 30 minutes before the ceremony, which was reportedly attended by hundreds of mourners.
The Rolls Royce was converted into a hearse by funeral director Ian Hart, whose daughter Amy found fame on Love Island.
He said: "When it was announced in the service that the Rolls had belonged to Simon Cowell, everybody said how fitting it was."
Mr Harper, described as a well respected man in the Traveller community, died suddenly in May.
There were a number of colourful tributes at his funeral, including ones of a pool table, pint of Guinness and bottle of malt vinegar.
James MacMillan, who led the service, said: "It was desperately moving.
"A respectful celebration of life and the best worst day that we could do for him."
Photographs taken ahead of the funeral show mourners piled into cars following the hearse. Several men are pictured beside a floral snooker table, travelling on a van with a trailer.
The hearse itself was transformed by specialist coach builders in Italy.
The extravagant champagne cooler in the back seat was ripped out in the process.
Reports also suggest the original interiors, including TV screens, mood lighting and fully reclining electric rear seats, had to be ditched.
They were replaced with stainless steel, leather and a crystal glass coffin compartment.
