South Africa holds state funeral for Archbishop Desmond Tutu
President Cyril Ramaphosa said the Nobel Peace Prize winner was "the spiritual father of our new nation".

Family, friends, clergy and politicians were among those who gathered at St George's Cathedral for Saturday's service, which had limited numbers because of coronavirus restrictions. Tutu's widow Nomalizo Leah sat in a wheelchair at the front of the congregation wearing a purple shawl - the colour of her late husband's clerical robes.
