As the Nolan family prepares to lay Linda Nolan to rest, they have shared an emotional request to fans.

The famous family, who rose to success in the the 1970s thanks to tunes by the Nolan Sisters, have invited members of the public to join in a celebration of the singer's life. Linda died on January 15 at the age of 65. She passed away from double pneumonia and had dealt with breast cancer for 20 years.

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. The sisters first found fame at the seaside resort after relocating to the town in 1972.

Alongside an image of the funeral invite, the post read: "The Nolan family invites everyone to join them in celebrating the extraordinary life of Linda Nolan, who passed away peacefully on 15th January 2025.

"Linda was a beacon of light, strength and unwavering love who inspired everyone she met, in addition to millions around the world. Her absence leaves an ache in our hearts, but her legacy will live on through the joy, hope and kindness she shared so freely.

"'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, are welcome to come and pay their respects as we remember her remarkable life. Fans and public are welcome to gather outside the church for the funeral - and in true Linda spirit, the more the merrier!"

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. When Brian tragically passed away in 2007, Linda found the strength to carry on, but her love for him never wavered. St. Paul’s was also where Linda said her final goodbye to Brian, holding his funeral in the same church where they had exchanged their vows."

Saying Linda is finally at peace" at back with her husband, the post concluded by saying there will then be a private service for the family before saying they will be raising money for Trinity Hospice, a charity that held a special place in Linda’s heart.

The announcement comes after Coleen revealed to the Mirror how Linda was in good spirits almost to the end, eating the chocolates people had brought her and talking with her friends and family. 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'."
