Interviewed by BBC Radio Sussex during an afternoon cream tea with her friends, she went on to explain some of the end-of-life preparations she has put in place.

When asked if she has planned her funeral, she replied, “yes”.

“Very similar to my wedding,” she added. “My coffin has got photos of me from when I was baby, all the way up to my wedding day.

“I’ve done a VT for my boys growing up, that’s taken me probably about 20 times to watch it without crying.”

She continued: “I also feel lucky in a sense, especially with Covid, people have died without and not been able to say goodbye.

“I feel privileged in a way that I can say goodbye, I can go and plan my funeral.”
