Hundreds of friends, family members and celebrities turned out to say goddbye to Charlotte Dawson today in a memorial held in a Sydney pub.
Stars including Megan Gale, Sarah Murdoch, Alex Perry and Laura Dundovic braved the rainy weather to pay tribute to their friend, who was found dead in her home last Saturday.
Richard Wilkins, Brian Walsh, Perry and Ros Reines spoke at the event, as did Charlotte’s sister Vicky, who brought the 47-year-old’s ashes to the memorial, propping them up on the lecturn “so she can see everyone”.
Charlotte was cremated in a private ceremony attended by her family on Wednesday.
