The legendary actress, who starred in films like Lili and Moulin Rogue, became notorious for her quick-witted statements and many marriages.

Ashes of the star, who died aged 99 in 2016, were taken by her husband to a cemetery in Budapest.

Frederic von Anhalt said she had expressed in her will that she wanted to return to Hungary after her death.

He said he had made the trip via London and Germany, telling Reuters news agency he wanted the ceremony for Gabor to be “a celebration of life, not a funeral”.

“She was first class, she had her own seat and she had her passport, everything there. It was her last trip, she always used to go first class, she had her champagne, caviar…” (BBC).
