Freddie Starr will be buried in a coffin engraved with the words \'Return to Sender\' in a nod to Elvis Presley.

The comedian - who was famed for impersonating the iconic musician - will be laid to rest in Liverpool today (13.06.19) after passing away alone in Costa del Sol, Spain at the age of 76 last month.

One side of the late star\'s coffin will be inscribed with the title of Elvis\' 1962 hit while the other will be emblazoned with the words "Liverpool legend".

It was previously reported that Freddie might not be able to afford a funeral but, after hearing the news, a funeral director stepped in to offer his services as he was such a big fan of the comedian.

"We will be leaving our funeral home in Sheffield at 09.15 And making our way to Liverpool to lay Freddie to Rest with his beloved mother.
