Sir Rod Stewart paid tribute to Jeff Beck this week as he attended the late guitarist's funeral in South London.

The musician, 78, penned a heartfelt written note to go alongside a beautiful display of flowers, which were delivered to the funeral.

Dubbing Jeff a 'guitar genius', the Forever Young singer noted that it was a 'privilege' to have performed alongside the star. 

The Yardbirds star passed away 'peacefully' on January 11, aged 78, after contracting bacterial meningitis.

He and Rod performed alongside one another within The Jeff Beck Group, which was founded in 1967 and featured the latter as the lead vocalist.
