Football stars including David Beckham and Ryan Giggs led mourners at the funeral of Neville Neville, the father of ex-Manchester United footballers Gary and Phil Neville.

The former commercial director of Bury Football Club suffered a heart attack as he travelled to Australia on 7 August, where his daughter Tracey Neville was heading to train the England Netball team for the World Cup.
