A ‘one of a kind’ see-through coffin was carried through London as a gypsy woman was put to rest wearing a Victorian wedding dress.

Pauline Devlin, who was non-verbal and never married, had a send-off ‘fit for a Queen’ as she was processed by a fleet of Rolls Royce and six white horses to a cemetery.

A New Orleans-style jazz band played music as the traveller, who died aged 50, was taken to her grave at Kensal Green Cemetery, according to the Sun. 

The white carriage carrying Miss Devlin’s body was led through the streets of north London by undertakers in top hats as she made her final journey on Saturday.

And her friends and family wore white in her honour as they lined the streets to watch the procession.

‘Pauline was loved by everyone,’ one relative said. ‘It was a send-off fit for a queen.

‘As much as it was to say goodbye, it was also to give her a big day that she never got.’ 

Miss Devlin’s coffin was specially made, and was placed into another box before it was lowered into the ground due its fragility.

Pauline passed away from pneumonia before she was buried at Kensal Green Cemetery and her grave was adorned with a sea of hundreds of white roses.

In a tribute to the Sun Pauline’s family said: ‘She was a special gift to our lives that we’ve grown up with and loved unconditionally.

‘Pauline was born non-verbal so our parents made sure she had all the attention and there were at least two of us at each of her sides on all days.

‘But spending time with Pauline was a gift, we would take long walks and enjoy picnics in the sun.

‘She loved music and she would move from side to side in her younger years. She would clap her hands and sit smiling.

‘Our father and mother and sisters and brothers loved Pauline very much and were very protective of her.

‘We had our places growing up and all had to fit around Pauline’s needs, there were 12 of us and it was a pleasure for us to do so, we all adored and loved her.

‘She will never be forgotten and she will be missed by all her family and her relatives and everyone that knew her.’
