A private funeral for actress Farrah Fawcett will be held on Tuesday, it has been announced. The service will take place at the Cathedral of Our Lady of the Angels in Los Angeles at 1600 local time, church officials said.

The actress died on Thursday aged 62 after losing a three-year battle with anal cancer. Her illness was chronicled in a US TV documentary, Farrah's Story, which was broadcast earlier this year.

The star became a 1970s icon after appearing in the US TV series Charlie's Angels.

She declared herself cancer-free four months after originally being diagnosed with cancer in September 2006, only to have the disease return in May 2007.

Her death came just days after actor Ryan O'Neal, Fawcett's partner since 1982, revealed they would finally get married, but the pair never got the chance to exchange vows. The couple have one son together, Redmond.

Very sad and such a good Actress..

Farrah Fawcett's funeral will take place at 4 p.m. PST Tuesday, June 30.

Fawcett, 62, who died on Thursday after a long battle with cancer, will be laid to rest in a private ceremony open to mourners by invitation only.

Yes, it's sad about Farah. 62 is more or less the threshold of retirement with a lot to look forward to.

Now, Michael - only 50. It's so sad. These things usually come in three's. I hope not!

They have both left a lot of people with happy memories. May they rest in peace.

Her partner Ryan O'Neal said: "After a long and brave battle with cancer, our beloved Farrah has passed away. Although this is an extremely difficult time for her family and friends, we take comfort in the beautiful times that we shared with Farrah over the years and the knowledge that her life brought joy to so many people around the world," he said.

Her death has come just weeks after her TV documentary was broadcast.
The video diary chronicled her battle with anal cancer in her final months.
O'Neal said she had wanted to tell her story on her own terms.

O'Neal, who has been with Fawcett on and off since 1982, recently disclosed they would finally get married, but never got the chance to exchange vows.

Aww, thanks Joy.

Sorry got carried away with Michael Jackson threads.

No, there wasn't time.

I used to think of Farrah and Lee Majors as "the golden couple" before she and Ryan O'Neal were together.

I think that Ryan's statement was brave, and Farrah was brave making the documentary about living with cancer.

Very sad, 62 is no age.

I used to like Charlie's Angels!

Sad news indeed .

I'm glad you have mentioned that film Jean . I couldn't remember what it was called but have seen it and found it to be powerful stuff .

I remember that Jean - Burning Beds. It was an excellent performance.

Sad news (: I remember her for her very powerful portrayal of a battered wife which proved she was not just a beauty but also an extremely good actress.

Jean.

This is sad news ~ when we played Charlie's angels we all wanted to be Farrah Fawcett x

Aw that's really sad news.

She had anal cancer which is apparently a rare cancer but usually responds well to treatment. I don't think she and Ryan O'Neal married before she passed away - very sad.
