Mourners have turned out in their hundreds for the funerals of twin brothers and stars of My Big Fat Gypsy Wedding Billy and Joe Smith who killed themselves just after Christmas.

The twins, 32, were found hanging side by side from trees near their homes in Sevenoaks, Kent, on December 28 last year. 

They left a suicide note for their grandmother, who later revealed Joe had battled cancer and the pair both became depressed as they struggled to cope with his diagnosis.

Today they are being laid to rest at Sevenoaks Cemetery in Kent following an emotional procession through the town and a funeral service at St John the Baptist Church. 

Friends, family and other members of the travelling community met at their grandmother Phoebe's home in Sevenoaks this morning, carrying ornate floral tributes in the shape of a bottle of Jack Daniels and a Rolex watch, before following the funeral cortege to the church.

Friends, family and other members of the travelling community met at their grandmother Phoebe's home in Sevenoaks this morning, carrying ornate floral tributes in the shape of a bottle of Jack Daniels and a Rolex watch, before following the funeral cortege to the church

One set of flowers was in the shape of 'Billy and Joe's red wine' with the word 'cousin' and two glasses on it, while two made up silver and gold Rolex watches

One of the floral tributes was in the shape of a bottle of Jack Daniel's whiskey, with a note that reads: 'To my pals Bill and Joe, Gone but never forgotten' 

Billy and Joe Smith, 32, were found hanging side by side in a wooded area near their homes in Sevenoaks, Kent, on December 28 last year

Extravagant floral tributes filled the front garden of Mrs Smith's semi-detached house. In keeping with Valentine's Day, dozens of Ferrero Rocher chocolates filled a heart of roses on the lawn outside.

A picture of the twins made up the letter 'O' in the word 'Sons'.

Billy and Joe's favourite songs were playing on a speaker while mourners gathered to admire the beautiful tributes.

Red heart balloons tied to the garden fence read 'I love you' and 'We will always belong together'.

One note on the Jack Daniel's floral tribute said: 'To my pals Bill and Joe. Gone but never forgotten. Always in our thoughts.'

Another note on a similar Jose Cuervo Especial tequila bottle floral tribute read: 'To my Joe and Billy. Thank you for the best memories and never leaving me. I'll love you forever.'

One tribute said: 'To Kent's biggest two legends. I will miss you both very much. Until we meet again boys.' 

A pick-up truck joined the funeral procession covered in red, white and blue floral tributes to Joe, with the word  'husband' and a picture of him, his estranged wife Charmaine, and two children

A funeral cortege including two separate white horse-drawn carriages for each of the men's coffins paraded through the town today 

Today the brothers are being laid to rest at Sevenoaks Cemetery in Kent after a funeral procession through the town (pictured) and a service at St John the Baptist Church

Two separate white horse-drawn carriages carried the coffins of the boys to outside their grandmother's house.

A pair of white horses with white feathered plumes on their heads pulled the carriages.

Joe, who was born first, was in the first carriage while Billy followed behind in the second carriage.

A separate silver hearse carried a number of floral tributes as passers by watched on and stood to pay their respects.

The procession, followed by multiple white cars to take the family to the church, waited in the road as tearful mourners kissed the windows of the carriages saying 'I love you Bill' and 'I love you Joe'.

The funeral service is taking place at St John the Baptist Church in Sevenoaks this morning. A white funeral carriage pulled by two white horses is seen outside draped with the St George's flag

The Smiths' coffins are pictured this morning being carried in elaborate white carriages pulled by white horses 

The carriage carrying Joey had the word 'Daddy' spelt out in white flowers on its roof while Billy had 'Uncle' on top of his.

Pictures of the twins were displayed on each side of the carriages, which were being driven by people dressed all in black, to show family and friends who was in each one.

A police officer directed around 30 cars out of the residential street towards Sevenoaks town centre.

The pair starred in the hit Channel 4 show My Big Fat Gypsy Wedding in 2013. 

A bitter row broke out over where they should be buried after Joey's estranged wife Charmaine insisted he should be laid to rest in Essex where they married seven years ago and lived before their separation. 

The Smiths' grandmother Phoebe, 75, and the rest of the family argued they should be together in Sevenoaks, where they lived and grew up.

They left a suicide note for their grandmother Phoebe Smith, 75, (pictured holding a picture of the three of them) who later revealed Joe had battled cancer and the pair both became depressed as they struggled to cope with his diagnosis
