Italy's held a National Day of Mourning to mark the funeral of former Prime Minister, Silvio Berlusconi.
Around 2000 people were inside Milan's Duomo cathedral for the service, with thousands more outside.
Italians either loved or hated Mr Berlusconi, who - despite his gaffes, sex scandals, and insults - won over the Italian population and was voted in as Prime Minister three times between 1994 and 2011.
Italy correspondent Davide Lerner spoke with Ingrid Hipkiss.
