The memory of Nelson Mandela was celebrated beautifully this weekend, as family members and friends gathered for a funeral service in Qunu.

Many residents of the area tuned in to their televisions and some celebrated outside of the service in honor of the former South African President’s legacy.

Some of those in attendance of the ceremonies were Mandela’s widow Graca Machel, his ex-wife Winnie Mandela, President Jacob Zuma, and even Oprah Winfrey and Idris Elba.

The touching funeral brought tears to the audience watching, as they remembered some of his fondest moments throughout his life.

Military soldiers of the country also gathered outside to pay their respects, as they silently watched the ceremonies dressed in full uniform.
