Relatives, friends and clergy members attended the funeral for Archbishop Emeritus Desmond Tutu, the Nobel Peace Prize-winning equality activist who was revered in Africa for his role in ending apartheid. • Tutu's small plain pine coffin, the cheapest available at his request to avoid any ostentatious displays, was the centre of the service, which also featured African choirs, prayers and incense. • Following the funeral, Tutu's ashes will be interred at the cathedral's columbarium. He died last Sunday at age 90. • Read more on this story: https://www.telegraph.co.uk/world-new... • #demondtutu #funeral #southafrica • Subscribe to The Telegraph on YouTube ► https://bit.ly/3idrdLH • Get the latest headlines: https://www.telegraph.co.uk/ • Telegraph.co.uk and / telegraphtv are websites of The Telegraph, the UK's best-selling quality daily newspaper providing news and analysis on UK and world events, business, sport, lifestyle and culture.
