She pulled out of a trip to India at the last minute so she can attend close friend George Michael's funeral.

And Kate Moss was back at her home in north London on Monday ahead of the burial, which is expected to take place within the next few days.

The 43-year-old stepped out in a classic black jacket and dark boot cut jeans, which she accessorised with a signature leopard print scarf.

Keeping to her usual rock chic vibe, she opted for a netted black top underneath, accessorising with a pair of leather boots and boxy shoulder bag.

Covering her eyes in a pair of dark shades, Kate wore her blonde tresses down over her shoulders in a centre parting.

She displayed her flawless complexion with minimal make-up, finishing off the look with a pair of gold hoop earrings.

The supermodel was driven off in a vintage blue Mercedes as speculation mounts over when George Michael's funeral will take place. 

Kate was in a first-class departure lounge at Heathrow with 14-year-old daughter Lila Grace and a male friend when she pulled out of boarding a flight to India, after being told the date for the Wham! singer's funeral. 

A fellow passenger told MailOnline the model had already checked in her bags and was set to board the plane.

He said: 'Her bags were in the hold of the jet, so it was quite an effort to retrieve them so close to take-off.

'She was upset and in something of a panic. She was polite at all times but explained there was no way she could fly out of the country because she'd miss the funeral.'

Kate had been a neighbour of George in Highgate and revealed in the days before his death that she had a secret route into the singer's garden.

She said: 'He's got a pool, so when it's hot I'm like, "Oh can Lila come and jump in your pool?" And he's like, "Yeah, come over".

'And we can actually climb from garden to garden over the walls with a ladder, we've done that a couple of times.'
