The funeral has taken place of the late opera singer, Luciano Pavarotti in northern Italy.
Celebrities, world leaders and thousands of fans gathered for the funeral mass.
The Italian Prime Minister Romano Prodi and his ministers of Culture and Defence, Francesco Rutelli and Arturo Parisi attended the service, along with former UN Secretary General Kofi Annan.
U2's frontman Bono, Italian tenor Andrea Bocelli and Bulgarian soprano Raina Kabaivanska were among those who attended the service in the singer's home town of Modena.
The funeral was held in the cathedral of his hometown of Modena with more than 800 people inside the church while thousands more watched on television screens outside.
The funeral was also broadcast live by state television.
The tenor died Thursday aged 71, and hundreds filed past his body lying in an open coffin in the town’s cathedral in the past two days.
Mr Pavarotti had surgery for cancer in New York in July 2006, then retreated to Modena where he had two weeks of treatment in hospital last month before going home for the last time.
The body of the 71-year-old tenor has been lying in state since his death on Thursday.
