Mourners were asked to wear blue, Stuart’s favourite colour, and his mother Rosemary lead the tributes to Stuart.

“Ironically for someone known for his quote about a field of ponies he was actually allergic to horses,” she told the congregation.

“Behind our sense of sadness is a feeling of pride in the wonderful kind, caring and loyal man our son had become and we hope in time that these feelings along with all the memories of the fun and laughter we shared will help to numb our pain.”

Sir Alan Sugar paid tribute to Stuart following the news of his death, calling him “one of the stand out characters” on The Apprentice and today he left a floral tribute which read: “With deepest sympathy from Lord Sugar and everyone at The Apprentice.”
