Try this one.... Daily Mirror. Dec 12th 2003. Pages 28 and 29. "Even so, she did not go to the funeral. "I wanted to," she says. "I talked to Yvonne, I talked to Linda, to Barbara and to Yvonne again. They didn`t know what had hit them." "And when I called Yvonne again about the funeral, she said: "Its tomorrow." I said: "Oh my God. Where?" But while I was taking down the details, something inside me said: "Should I or shouldn`t I go?" Yvonne said "Lu, come if you like." She`s a really lovely persond and it wasn`t "Come if you like, but I dont really want you to." "But I was getting hundreds of calls from papers, asking for quotes. I thought that if I went and they started taking pictures of me I`d feel very uncomfortable. Yvonne and the kids, that was their moment, their time. I am the e x-wife." First point....who the heck in USA would even consider Lulu a Z-list celeb....she`s 60`s history....an extra from To Sir With Love. Second point....it was NOT "Yvonne and the kids day"...it was a funeral.
