Thousands of Australians have paid tribute to Donald Bradman, lining suburban si reels as the cricket legend s casket was carried in procession to a private funeral service in his hometown Adelaide.

Some threw Howers and others saluted with cricket bats as the funeral cortege, escorted by police cars and motorcycles, drove slowly along the 15-kilometre route from a suburban funeral home to the picturesque Centennial Pirk
cemetery.
Traffic banked up behind the procession and slowed further when people surged onto (he streets to pay their last respects.
"Farewell to Gentleman Don. Rest in Peace, " read one placard, held aloft by a young mother on the edge of a main road.
"I feel very emotional, very sad." said Des Aplin. 73. as the glass-sided hearse slipped behind the cemetery gates for the evening service, attended by one of Bradman's greatest fans. Australia's Prime Minister John I Inward.
