Thousands of mourners have gathered for the funeral of Olympic marathon runner Rebecca Cheptegei. The athlete died after being set on fire by her former boyfriend, and has now been buried in her father's homestead in eastern Uganda. As she was also a member of Uganda's armed forces, soldiers carried the coffin and gave a three-volley salute at the service.

The 33-year-old's killing, and its brutal nature, left her family distraught and shocked many others across the world.
