Ricky Hatton died aged 46 last month at his home in Hyde, Greater Manchester, and his nearest and dearest were seen mourning at his funeral on Friday
Liam Gallagher, Claire Sweeney and the Rooneys were among the big-name stars at Ricky Hatton’s funeral on Friday. The legendary boxer was laid to rest today after being found dead at his home in Hyde, Greater Manchester, in September, aged 46, sending the nation into mourning.
The streets of his home city were lined this morning as his coffin made its way to the cathedral. There, friends, family and celebrities alike gathered to pay their respects.
Oasis singer Liam Gallagher, football great Wayne Rooney and his wife Coleen Rooney, comedian Paddy McGuinness, darts star Phil ‘The Power’ Taylor and boxing icons Tyson Fury and Frank Bruno were among the mourners.
Others in attendance also included Claire Sweeney, who dated the tragic former world champion. The two went from friends to lovers and back to friends after an eight-month relationship.
They dated last year before things cooled between them just before Christmas – but it is clear they stayed close.
Claire broke down as his coffin arrived at Manchester Cathedral. The actress, who was dressed in black, said she will “always love” Ricky in an emotional post days after his death last month.
