Shane Warne's family and friends remember cricketing legend at private funeral

Shane Warne's family and friends have paid their final respects at a private funeral in his hometown of Melbourne, Australia. The cricketing legend's parents, three children and friends – including retired Test captains Mark Taylor and Allan Border and former England skipper Michael Vaughan – were among about 80 guests at the service on Sunday.

Warne, widely regarded as one of the top players of all time, died on March 4 while on holiday with friends on Samui Island in southern Thailand. A post-mortem examination found the 52-year-old had died of a suspected heart attack. His body was repatriated from Bangkok to Melbourne just over a week ago.
