Photos from the Funeral of Celine Dion's Husband René Angélil ..

Celine Dion led hundreds of mourners in an emotional final farewell to her late husband René Angélil on Friday. 

She was joined by her three children. Older son René Charles, 14, escorted his elderly grandmother Thérèse, 88, into the service, while Celine held the hands of her twin five-year-old sons Nelson and Eddy,

A huge number of well-wishers also gathered for the 'national funeral' service - filling the aisles of the church and the area outside.

The couple are so popular in the province and the country at large that Angélil and his grieving wife were offered the highest honor.

Angélil died of throat cancer at the age of 73 on January 14, Celine, 46, was almost 26 years his junior. 

They met when she was just 12-years-old when he became her manager - Her late husband Angélil mortgaged his home to help her make her first record.  

They had a secret affair that began seven years later but they didn't go public for another five in fear of criticism over their age gap. 

They were married in a lavish wedding broadcast on Canadian TV in December 1994. At first her mother wouldn't approve of the couple but eventually came to accept him as her son-in-law while Celine referred to him as 'the only boyfriend I ever had'.
