Jake Hall's ex-girlfriend Chloe Lewis and Misse Beqiri, the mother of his child, arrived alongside other celebrities to pay their respects. White flowers adorned his coffin as it was carried into the church. Most guests wore sunglasses, and a big screen outside displayed the interior of the church where loved ones sat with the order of service.
Tributes from Loved Ones
Misse Beqiri, with whom Hall has an eight-year-old daughter named River, shared a heartfelt tribute following his death. She wrote: "I never thought I would ever have to write this, and the pain of even putting these words down feels unbearable. There was no way you were ever supposed to go. My heart is shattered, and so is our daughter's. You lit up every room you walked into – your smile, your charm, your energy that filled the air."
The Only Way Is Essex also paid tribute in a statement: "Jake was a part of the TOWIE family for a number of years and we send our very deepest sympathies to his family and friends following today’s very sad news."
