Family, friends and close industry colleagues have farewelled theatrical veteran Rob Guest at a private and sombre funeral service in Sydney.
The funeral was held yesterday at St Peters Presbyterian Church in North Sydney. It follows Guest's sudden death earlier this month from a massive stroke.The general public and others touched by Guest's extraordinary career will have an opportunity to pay tribute to his life at a public memorial in Melbourne on Monday.
It is expected that his partner Kellie Dickerson, entertainment legend Bert Newton and Wicked producer John Frost will all speak at the memorial, while Sir Cameron Mackintosh has recorded a video tribute.
At the memorial, there is expected to be a significant announcement from ANZ about a permanent tribute to Guest, and the major impact he had on the entertainment industry. ANZ is a major sponsor of Wicked, the show in which Guest was starring at the time of his death.
