The ceremony was attended by family and close friends yesterday at Shrewsbury Crematorium.

A celebration of her life is planned for later in the year.

The 41-year-old, who had a 20-year association with the BBC radio station, died earlier this month. She had presented the afternoon drive time show with co-host Adam Green since 2010.

News of Ms Archer’s death was broken to listeners by presenter Eric Smith, who said: “Our much-loved colleague, Vicki Archer, who has been part of your afternoons for many years, has died suddenly."

An inquest into her death has been opened and adjourned until December.
