Friends of Jade Goody have revealed that she chose Aerosmith's 1998 single 'I Don't Want To Miss A Thing' to be played at her funeral.

According to The Mirror, the song had special meaning to the former reality star because it was played at her wedding to Jack Tweed.

"It will be very moving to hear that again after it meant so much on her big day. There won't be a dry eye in the church," said one friend.

Goody, who died of cancer on Sunday, also requested that another, more up-beat song be played to remind mourners of "enjoying herself in happier days".

Tweed, her mother Jackiey Budden and two of her bridesmaids will give readings at the April 4 memorial, alongside grandfather John Caddock, who walked her down the aisle last month.

Thousands of people are expected to line the route from her home to St. John The Baptist Church in Buckhurst Hill, Essex, with some reports suggesting that there will be a convoy of up to 21 cars.

TV screens will be erected outside the chapel for those who wish to watch the service, while proceedings will commence with Goody's favourite hymn 'All The Small Things'.

Earlier, it was reported that Tweed could miss the funeral if he is imprisoned in relation to an assault charge.
