Well-wishers filled the streets of Cambridge for the funeral of British physicist Stephen Hawking. Professor Stephen Hawking’s funeral service has begun, with his body being carried into the University Church of St Mary the Great. The turnout to the service was extraordinary, with thousands of people lining the streets outside the Cambridge University college to pay their final respects to the iconic theoretical physicist. As the funeral procession arrived, the Anglican church bells chimed 76 times; one for each year of Professor Hawking’s time on earth. There was applause for the inspiring academic as the hearse pulled up outside the church.
