Tributes paid at Bo Diddley funeral

Friends and family paid tribute to the late great Bo Diddley this weekend as his funeral took place in Florida. According to the BBC, a gospel band played his music at the memorial, and as his coffin passed through hundreds of mourners clapped and chanted his song 'Hey Bo Diddley'. His grandson, Gary Mitchell, told mourners: "In 1955 he used to keep the crowds rocking and rolling way before Elvis Presley", while his manager, Faith Fusillo, said to family members who were present: "Please know this, because I know Diddley. As much as you loved him, he loved you more". As previously reported, Diddley died of heart failure last week aged 79.
