The wives of glam rock legend Alvin Stardust were joined in Swansea by hundreds of mourners, including a host of music legends, today to bid farewell to the star. Julie Paton and his first wife, Iris Fenton, along with some 350 people - including his former bandmates and his ex-manager Lord Levy - turned out at the singer's honorary Welsh home for the service at St Thomas church, the same church where he married Julie. After an emotional service, the singer's flower-laden coffin was showered with Champagne as his son thanked his rock star father for a 'lifetime' of 'Champagne moments'.
