Mourners attending the Catholic requiem mass included Shadow Chancellor Mel Stride, former justice minister Crispin Blunt, and broadcaster Iain Dale. The 78-year-old Reform UK spokeswoman died on 8 July following an attack at her home in Dartmoor, for which 28-year-old Joshua Kerry has been charged with murder. Tributes during the private service were paid by her nephew, the Rev Roger Widdecombe, and close friend Sir Christian Sweeting, alongside a homily from the Abbot of Buckfast. Donations made in memory of Miss Widdecombe will be divided between two Christian charities, with a public memorial service to be held later this year.
