Family and friends of Amy Winehouse have begun arriving at a private service for the singer in north London.
A convoy of vehicles has been drawing up at the Edgwarebury Cemetery in Edgware and the road is lined with photographers and some fans.
Music producer Mark Ronson and TV star Kelly Osbourne were among the famous faces seen arriving.
About 200 people are expected to attend the 45-minute service being led by a rabbi.
Osbourne and others were seen wearing their hair in Winehouse's trademark beehive style.
The service is expected to be followed by cremation and a family gathering at a local synagogue.
Winehouse's body was found on Saturday at her home in Camden, north London.
Dionne Bromfield, Winehouse's goddaughter who was signed to the singer's record label, paid tribute on Twitter saying: "I feel like a part of my soul has departed with the beautiful song bird Amy.... Please say a prayer... She loved everyone."
Singer George Michael wrote on Twitter that the late star "the most soulful vocalist this country has ever seen".
Inquest adjourned In a posting on her website, Adele said Winehouse had "paved the way for artists like me and made people excited about British music again".
Winehouse was seen out last week when she joined the 15-year-old on stage during a gig at the Roundhouse in Camden and encouraged the audience to buy her album.
An inquest into Winehouse's death was opened and adjourned until 26 October at London's St Pancras Coroner's Court on Monday.
During the two-minute hearing, an official read out the name, birth date and address of Winehouse, described as "a divorced lady living at Camden Square NW1".
"She was a singer-songwriter at the time of her death and was identified by her family here at St Pancras this morning," said coroner's officer Sharon Duff.
The scene of Winehouse's death, she said, "was investigated by police and determined non-suspicious."
A post-mortem examination also took place on Monday. No cause of death has yet been given.
Results of further toxicology tests could take up to four weeks.
The singer won widespread acclaim with her 2003 debut album Frank, which saw her nominated for the Mercury prize.
But it was 2006's Back to Black which brought her worldwide stardom, winning five Grammy Awards.
