Emiliano Sala’s funeral in Argentina

Thousands of mourners lined the streets today for Emiliano Sala’s funeral in Argentina.

An emotional service took place inside the footballer’s boyhood club of San Martin de Progreso, in the province of Santa Fe.

His coffin was then carried to a waiting hearse and taken to Santa Fe for a cremation ceremony.

The children of the football club then lined streets as his coffin was taken away to a private cremation service.

Sala’s body was pulled from the plane wreckage on the 8th of this month. The 28‑year‑old died in a tragic plane crash over the English Channel last month.
