The Vivienne’s family tell vigil ‘we’re so proud’

The family of drag icon The Vivienne said they “brought the sparkle to life” and will be missed “for eternity” during an emotional vigil in Liverpool on Sunday night.

Hundreds gathered on the steps of St George’s Hall to pay their respects to the TV star, also known as James Lee Williams, who died last week aged 32.

The landmark was lit up in green to honour The Vivienne’s role in Wizard of Oz and crowds swayed with their phone torches shining to a moving rendition of Somewhere Over the Rainbow.

The Vivienne was catapulted to fame after winning the first series of RuPaul’s Drag Race UK in 2019.
