Celine lays her head on the coffin during the ceremony |
Celine Dion led hundreds of mourners in an emotional final farewell to her late husband René Angélil on Friday. 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 René Charles, 14, escorted his elderly grandmother Thérèse, 88, into the service, while Celine walked in gripping the hands of her twin five-year-old sons Nelson and Eddy.
Angélil died of throat cancer at the age of 73 on January 14, 2016. The couple met when she was just 12-years-old when he became her manager - with Angélil mortgaging his home to help her make her first record.
