The pace of the Sid Vicious version that made the 'My way' of Sinatra, with music ringing through the speaker of the church, family and friends of Malcolm McLaren, the so-called father of punk, they have fired him this afternoon. The funeral was held in the deconsecrated church of St. Mary's Magdalene, and how could it be otherwise, was an extravagant farewell to the fullest.

While the voice sounded torn the leader of the Sex Pistots, the guests sang and danced in the church. Among the nearly 200 attendees were her former partner, the designer Vivienne Westwood, Joseph Corre, the son they had together, the musician Bob Geldof, the artist Tracey Emin, Adam Ant and former Sex Pistols drummer Paul Cook. Malcolm McLaren died on 8 April in a Swiss clinic as a result of a cancer that had long suffered at the age of 64.

During the funeral, his son Joseph Corre have read a letter he sent the former Sex Pistol Steve Jones in which he apologized for being unable to attend and asked to McLaren: "You take our money to the grave?" ironically by the dispute that took members of the band with their manager was 'distracting' money. But then Jones thanked him "for teaching me the other side of life when she was 17 years."

Another thank the afternoon has been that, rather than observe a minute of silence, McLaren's friends have become "a minute of noise." McLaren's son had asked the 'fans' of his father to fire him today at noon, go up the music on their computers the way until they exploded the speakers. And if the neighbor complains, to teach the middle finger.

After the special farewell ceremony, which also sung other songs of the Sex Pistols, the funeral procession has gone on a long procession through the streets of north London that has lasted nearly two hours and ended in the Highgate Cemetery. The coffin containing the body was in a McLaren elegant carriage drawn by two enormous and beautiful black horses and led the procession. On one side of the coffin marked "Too fast to live, to young to die" (too fast to live, too young to die), which was the name of the store that McLaren and Westwood had on King's Road and was the cradle of the Sex Pistols.

Behind them came the lengthy hearses and tail a double-decker bus bound green to "Nowhere" as read in its front panel. Their destination was Highgate Cemetery. The procession has paraded through the streets of north London in the middle of people's curiosity. The moment has been crowded when they have crossed the neighborhood of Camden Town, considered the birthplace of punk.

At the entrance to Highgate Cemetery, a hundred people awaited the arrival of McLaren for hours. There were fans of the musician, curious, some tourists who were visiting the cemetery, old punks and a legion of paparazzi.

"I am a fan of the Sex Pistols, I think that revolutionized music as the Beatles," says Geoffrey, a man in his 60s who had long expected. "I do not identify with the philosophy of punk but with their music."

"The Sex Pistols revolutionized the whole music in the 70s was for the middle class people. They came from the lower classes and taught the people that anyone can make music, "says Jim, a London musician with a Scottish accent who has also climbed Highgate Hill for the final goodbye to McClaren.

In Highgate, could only get cars with immediate family. From the bars of the door, Jim looked like cars barreled slowly the same way that leads to the tomb of Karl Marx. It was the last goodbye to the father of punk.
