Susan Boyle wants ‘Nellie The Elephant’ played at her funeral

LONDON - Scottish singer Susan Boyle has revealed that she wants children’s favourite ‘Nellie The Elephant’ to be played at her funeral.

Boyle, 48, revealed to Dermot O’Leary on Radio 2, due to air on Christmas Day, that she wanted the kids’ classic, performed by Mandy Miller, to lift the mood during the funeral.

“Leave them laughing. If Peter Sellers can do it, so can I,” the Sun quoted her as saying.

Pink Panther legend Sellers, who died in 1980 aged 54, famously had a song he hated - Glenn Miller’s In The Mood - played at his funeral for laughs. (ANI)
