Stars Meet For 'Boozy Farewell' To Jade Goody© Sky News 2009
Friends and family of Jade Goody will meet at a top London club tonight for a "drunken farewell" to the star.
A month to the day after the 27-year-old lost her battle with cancer, celebrities and friends will gather at Embassy Nightclub for a knees-up in her honour.
They will also launch a picture book dedicated to her sons Bobby, five, and Freddy, four.
Club owner Mark Fuller, who acted as a pallbearer at Jade's funeral, told Sky News Online: "I thought what would make Jade really, really proud is if we said one final goodbye.
"We're all going to have a big knees-up, dance to Michael Jackson - and hopefully we'll all wake up the next day feeling very hung over."
He added: "She was larger than life and even in death we're finding it difficult to say goodbye."
Mr Fuller will put a glass of champagne and Jade's favourite "bubblegum cocktail" at the star's usual table in her memory.
The book, called Remember Me This Way, has pictures of the seven years Jade spent in the limelight after she was propelled to fame on Big Brother.
It was put together by celebrity photographers Danny Hayward and Simon Bridger from Matrix Photos, who became her godparents when she was christened shortly before her death.
The foreword, written by Jade, says: "To Bobby and Freddy - I have asked for this book so that when you are older you can remember just how much fun we had together."
Jade's widower Jack Tweed will not be at the event because he is serving a 12-week prison sentence for assaulting a taxi driver.
All profits from the book will go to Jade's sons, and proceeds from the club night will be split between them and Marie Curie Cancer Care.
The party comes after it was revealed that Jade begged her mother to smother her with a pillow as she lay dying from cancer.
The reality TV star spent her final weeks being nursed at home by both her husband and mother Jackiey Budden
