In pictures: Italy quake victims funeral

An emotional mass funeral has been held in the devastated Italian village of San Giuliano di Puglia for the 29 people - including 26 children - who were killed in Thursday's earthquake.

Thousands came to watch, and mourn, at the mass funeral

The sad procession wound its way to a tent where the funeral ceremony was to be held

Distraught families walked alongside Italian rescuers and firefighters as they carried the tiny coffins

The grief was visible on many of the pallbearers faces

Mourners and relatives, some clutching photographs of their lost ones, wept as the coffins went past

While others were simply overcome by the emotion of the day
