Vivienne Westwood funeral: Celebrities, fashion industry titans honour late designer

Celebrities and fashionistas gathered at London's Southwark Cathedral on Thursday to say goodbye to iconic veteran designer Vivienne Westwood, who died in December at age 81.

The memorial service for the designer and campaigner drew famous names from the worlds of film, music and fashion, including former pop star and fashion designer Victoria Beckham, supermodel Kate Moss, actors Helena Bonham Carter and Elle Fanning, and more. Westwood's husband and creative partner Andreas Kronthaler was also in attendance.

Westwood was synonymous with 1970s punk rock, dressing the Sex Pistols — a rebelliousness that remained her hallmark.

She addressed climate change, pollution, and her support for WikiLeaks founder Julian Assange on protest T-shirts or banners carried by her models on the runway of her fashion shows.
