Photos from Phillip Hughes' funeral today- super emotional!!!

Here today, gone tomorrow: RIP Phillip Hughes!!!
For many family and friends of Phillip Hughes, it was a grief-stricken day as they said their last goodbyes to the fallen cricketer in the town of Macksville, standing up in front of thousands and delivering heart-wrenching eulogies.

Hughes' older brother Jason told the congregation at the batsman's funeral service on Wednesday he could not have hoped for 'a better little brother' someone, he insisted, who 'was always destined to be a rock star'.

His mother's cries rang through the packed hall at Macksville High School, where sporting stars - new and old - along with other family members had gathered to remember the lovable larrikin with a 'twinkle' in his eye.

But for other relatives, the funeral service was a celebration of Hughes' short life.

During his funeral service, his family told stories of how he lived the high life of a sports star but never forgot his humble beginnings on the NSW mid-north coast.

His funeral revealed the depth of his big plans as a cattle breeder, he also had at least another decade of international cricket at his mercy.
