Lee Alexander McQueen's memorial service took place at London St. Paul's Cathedral on Monday September 20, 2010. Crowds gathered and attended the service. The guest list is like an A-listed red carpet event, including Anna Wintour, Kate Moss, Sarah Jessica Parker and Naomi Campbell. American Vogue editor in chief delivered a memorial speech in which she spoke of McQueen; "As a child he loved nothing more than sitting on the rooftop and watching birds fly by. His final collection was a battle between dark and light. His was an 18-year career of harnessing his dreams and demons ... But he has left us with an even more exceptional legacy, a talent that soared like the birds of his childhood above us all."
Sources said McQueen took a cocktail of drugs insists of cocaine and sleeping pills before hanging himself in the wardrobe at his house in Mayfair, central London. His housekeeper is the first who discovered his death.
Bjork paid tribute singing Billy Holiday's 'Gloomy Sunday'. She stood like one of McQueen's angels.
Many wore Alexander McQueen's design.
