Kate McCann's close bond with Everton chairman Bill Kenwright: Madeleine McCann's mother makes rare public appearance to attend ex Corrie star's memorial after club rallied behind family when three-year-old vanished in 2007

Madeleine McCann's mother was among the mourners paying their final respects at the funeral of Everton chairman Bill Kenwright.

The former Coronation Street star died in October just months after having an operation to remove a cancerous tumour from his liver.

Mourners gathered at Liverpool Cathedral on Monday to mark the 78-year-old's life - including missing Maddie's mother, whose family was supported by the club when the three-year-old vanished 16 years ago.

Kate, 55, was snapped arriving at the service sporting a blue Everton scarf, with another the same colour tucked underneath.
