Friends Family pay respects to McQueen

Funeral services were held Thursday in London for Lee Alexander McQueen, the avant-garde British designer who hanged himself earlier this month at age 40.

Brand representatives previously announced a public memorial service for McQueen, though no date has been set.

Thursday's ceremony was attended by models Naomi Campbell and Kate Moss, along with designer Stella McCartney and McQueen's father and five siblings, according to London's Evening Standard.

McQueen's fall 2010 collection is still expected to be presented at Paris Fashion Week on March 9.

The antigay Westboro Baptist Church had previously released a statement claiming it would picket McQueen's funeral, though it is unclear if any protesters were in attendance.
