Celine Dion led mourners in an emotional final farewell to her late husband René Angélil today. The heartbroken singer elegantly dressed in a black full-sleeve dress and a long black veil managed to maintain her composure for the touching ceremony remembering the showbiz manager at the Notre-Dame Basilica in Old Montreal.
She was joined by her three children. Older son Rene-Charles, 14, escorted his elderly grandmother Therese into the service while Celine walked in gripping the hands of her twin five-year-old sons Nelson and Eddy.

A huge number of well-wishers also gathered for the ‘national funeral’ service – filling the aisles of the church and the area around it.
