This will be of little or no interest to anyone - I can't really understand why what songs are to be played at a reality TV star's funeral can make sky news but well I saw the mention of The Beatles so here you go.....
Beatles Classic For Jade's Final Farewell

The last few preparations are being made for Jade Goody's funeral as it emerged she will make her final journey to the strains of The Beatles' ballad Let It Be.
Let It Be, one of the last Beatles hits, will be played at the end of the service
More than 300 people - including TV hosts Richard and Judy, Kerry Katona and pop stars Jamelia and the Sugababes - are expected to attend the service on Saturday.
Sky News has learned that 35 members of the London Community Gospel Choir will sing at the church, with the service beamed onto TV screens outside.
Jade's simple white coffin will arrive at St John The Baptist Church in Buckhurst Hill, Essex, in a vintage 1932 Rolls Royce hearse.
That car will be followed by a Bentley, four Daimler limousines, three floral hearses and a minibus.
The coffin - in a classic shape - and bearing Jade's name, will have small silver handles.
Sky understands there will be five readers at the service, including her publicist and friend Max Clifford.
Jade's husband Jack Tweed, her friend Kevin Adams, one of her bridesmaids and a school friend are also due to make tributes.
Thousands of well-wishers are expected to wave on the cortege as it makes its way from the funeral directors F A Albin & Sons through Bermondsey and on to Essex.
The contents of the service have been kept secret but sources have revealed that the Beatles classic Let It Be will be played at the end of the service.
Max Clifford told Sky News Online he has been conducting up to 60 interviews a day - from as far afield as Saudi Arabia - since Jade's death.
Max Clifford will read a tribute at St John The Baptist Church
"I have dealt with people from the Beatles to Muhammad Ali, but I have never know such intensity from the media as this," Mr Clifford said.
The cortege leaves from Albins' Rotherhithe office at around 8.30am and makes its away through Bermondsey towards Tower Bridge.
It will stop twice, first in The Blue Market area of Bermondsey on Southwark Park Road, where Jade's grandfather had a stall.
The cortege will then wind its way up to Wolseley Street and around the Dickens Estate stopping in Jacob Street where Jade grew up.
A wreath of flowers will be laid outside Peter Butler House before the fleet of vehicles slowly make their way across the bridge through the East End and towards the Essex border.
Colourful flowers spelling the name Goody will be displayed across the front of the hearse.
Other floral tributes, including 'Jade', 'Daughter', 'Wife', 'Mummy' and 'Granddaughter', will fill the car and adorn the side of the Rolls Royce.
A perfume bottle, a camera and a tub of marmite as well as a copy of The Sun newspaper - all in flowers - will also accompany the coffin.
The cortege will arrive at Jade's home in Pick Hill, Upshire, Essex, at around 11am.
The family - including Jade's mother Jackiey - will be picked up in the Bentley car and proceed to Loughton High Street, arriving at 11.30am.
Hundreds of photographers and journalists will follow the procession as it makes its way at walking pace through Loughton.
The family will walk behind the hearse before getting back into the car and driving the short distance to St John The Baptist Church in Buckhurst Hill.
Police will close off High Road near to the church as huge numbers are expected. Security guards and church wardens will also keep order.
Reverend Corinne Brixton - the same vicar who christened Jade's children - will deliver the service.
Members of the media will not be allowed into the ceremony.
The cortege will then proceed for its final journey to a private burial ground near the family home to lay Jade's body to rest.
Jade's sons Bobby and Freddie will not be attending the funeral.
Their father Jeff Brazier is taking them on a "boys' bonding" trip to Australia so they can escape the media glare.
