The world of motorsport has bid farewell to Formula1 driver Jules Bianchi at his funeral in his hometown of Nice.
World champion Lewis Hamilton and many of Bianchi's colleagues joined family and friends at a service in the city's cathedral while fans gathered outside.
The 25-year-old died last Friday from head injuries he sustained in a crash at the 2014 Japanese Grand Prix. His car number, 17, is being retired from F1 in his honour.
It is expected that Formula 1 will paid tribute at the Hungarian Grand Prix, meanwhile a number of Formula 1 colleagues travelled to Nice to pay their respects. Sebastian Vettel and fellow Frenchman Romain Grosjean helped carry Bianchi's coffin after the service.
Other drivers attending included Nico Rosberg, Felipe Massa, and Olivier Panis.
The cathedral priest, Father Sylvain Brison Mourners, told the congregation that Bianchi was "a champion blessed with a rare talent"
