SENIOR politicians from all parties, along with family and friends, gathered to pay their respects at Gwyneth Dunwoody's funeral today.

The ceremony was conducted at St Margaret's Church in Westminster with a eulogy to Crewe and Nantwich's long-serving MP delivered by Labour Justice Minister, Jack Straw, just two days after he visited the borough to champion Gwyneth's daughter Tamsin's campaign to take over the seat.

Mourners were greeted at the funeral by Tamsin Dunwoody with senior figures from all sides of the political arena in attendance.

They included Labour's Deputy Leader Harriet Harmon, Chancellor Alistair Darling, Conservative Leader David Cameron, Shadow Chancellor George Osbourne and Liberal Democrat Leader Nick Clegg.
