LOS ANGELES — The life of “Charlie’s Angels” star Farrah Fawcett is being celebrated at a private funeral in the Cathedral of Our Lady of the Angels in downtown Los Angeles.

Her longtime companion, Ryan O’Neal, was among pallbearers who accompanied the casket, covered in yellow and orange flowers, into the Roman Catholic cathedral Tuesday afternoon.
Fawcett’s friend Alana Stewart and “Charlie’s Angels” co-star Kate Jackson were among early arrivals before the hearse arrived, accompanied by 10 motorcycle officers.
Fans and news media are watching from across a street.
Fawcett died Thursday at age 62 after a public battle with cancer. O’Neal and Stewart were at her side.
