Claire Sweeney has been photographed in tears as she attended her ex-boyfriend Ricky Hatton’s funeral today.
The boxing legend has been laid to rest today as family and friends gathered for an emotional funeral in Manchester. The streets of his home city were lined this morning as his coffin made its way to the cathedral. There, friends, family and celebrities alike gathered to pay their respects.
Rocker Liam Gallagher, football great Wayne Rooney, comedian Paddy McGuinness, darts star Phil ‘The Power’ Taylor and boxers Tyson Fury and Frank Bruno were among the mourners. So was actress Claire, who dated the tragic former world champion who was found dead aged 46 at his Hyde home on September 14.
She broke down as his coffin arrived at Manchester Cathedral. The star, who was dressed in black, said she will “always love” Ricky in an emotional post days after his death last month.
