Add body class "past-event" to single event view

Hi there! I want to add a body class to the single event view if the event is a past event. My code (in functions.php) reads like:
```
add_filter( 'body_class','my_body_classes' );
    function my_body_classes( $classes ) {

        if( tribe_is_past() ) {

            $classes[] = 'past-event';

        }

        return $classes;

    }
```
But it doesn’t work. Any suggestions?

Anyone? I still have no idea how to solve this since The Events Calendar does not work with categories in terms of upcoming and past, but with the field EventDisplay, which I cannot handle. So if you happen to have an idea on how to add a body class “past-event” to the single view of past events, please let me know.

I did find an approach to solve this here:
https://theeventscalendar.com/support/forums/topic/displaying-a-class-name-for-past-events-only/

Unfortunately it’s not working (any more?).
Also I would like to extend the function as follows:
```
/* Adds new body class for past event */
add_filter( 'body_class', 'tribe_events_past_events_body_class' );

function tribe_events_past_events_body_class( $classes ) {

    global $wp_query;

    $event_date = get_query_var( 'eventDate' );

    if ( isset( $event_date ) ) {

        $this_month = current_time( 'Y-m' );
        $is_past    = strtotime( $event_date ) < strtotime( $this_month );

        if ( $is_past ) {
            $classes[] = 'tribe-is-past';
        }
        else {
            $classes[] = 'tribe-is-upcoming';
        }
    }

    return $classes;
}
```
But in any case, neither the original code from the forum nor the modified one work.
Does someone have an idea?

I managed to put something together that adds a class to the body if the event has passed.

Here’s a Gist of it:
