===Funeral=== [[File:Grave of Harold Pinter in Kensal Green Cemetery.jpg|thumb|upright|Grave of Harold Pinter in [[Kensal Green Cemetery]]]] Pinter's funeral was a private, half-hour secular ceremony conducted at the graveside at [[Kensal Green Cemetery]], 31 December 2008. The eight readings selected in advance by Pinter included passages from seven of his own writings and from the story "[[The Dead (Joyce short story)|The Dead]]", by [[James Joyce]], which was read by actress [[Penelope Wilton]]. [[Michael Gambon]] read the "photo album" speech from ''No Man's Land'' and three other readings, including Pinter's poem "Death" (1997). Other readings honoured Pinter's widow and his love of cricket.<ref name=Goodnight/> The ceremony was attended by many notable theatre people, including [[Tom Stoppard]], but not by Pinter's son, Daniel Brand. At its end, Pinter's widow, Antonia Fraser, stepped forward to his grave and quoted from [[Horatio (character)|Horatio]]'s speech after the death of [[Prince Hamlet|Hamlet]]: "Goodnight, sweet prince, / And flights of angels sing thee to thy rest."<ref name=Goodnight/>
