Cynthia Payne's House of Cyn (1995)

Сюжет кино: 'She made lots of people very happy': With wreathes that read 'SEX' and pallbearers dressed as policemen, brothel madam Cynthia Payne is laid to rest in suitably outrageous fashion
Dozens of mourners dressed in brightly-coloured clothing to bid farewell to the 82-year-old, who died last month
A jazz band, pallbearers in police uniform and actors in maids' outfits lined the route of the hearse in south London
Payne, nicknamed Madame Cyn, hit headlines in 1978 when police raided a sex party at her home in Streatham
Her life was immortalised in two films - Wish You Were Here and Personal Services, starring Julie Walters
