Nancy Dell'Olio laid a rose on Sven-Goran Eriksson's coffin at the former England manager's funeral in Sweden on Friday, 13 September.

The lawyer, with whom the Swede was in a relationship during his time with England, embraced David Beckham as the pair attended the service at a church in Torsby.

Eriksson, who became the first foreign manager to lead the side, died aged 76 on 26 August following a pancreatic cancer diagnosis.

In January, he shared that he was approaching the end of his life and would have a year left to live in a "best case" scenario.
