Sarah Ferguson, the Duchess of York, and her daughter Princess Beatrice attended a memorial service for fashion editor Isabella Blow yesterday.

The royals joined a crowd of almost 1,000 for the service at London's Guards Chapel, to pay tribute to Isabella, who committed suicide in May, aged 48.

Claudia Schiffer claims supermodels are extinct. The German beauty insists aspiring models can no longer achieve the kind of fame she, Cindy Crawford, Naomi Campbell and Linda Evangelina enjoyed in the 90s.

She believes actresses and pop stars are now much more likely to grace the covers of magazines, preventing models from reaching global celebrity status.
