    The service began at 2pm and continued well into the night. Mr Angelil was dressed in a suit and in an open casket as close family and friends and fans filed in and give their last goodbyes. Dion, who was only supposed to stay thirty minutes, remained at the service for hours greeting fans. She was seen approaching the casket where she a made a crucifix gesture before gazing at her husband and placing a hand on his cheek.
