Australia is farewelling one of the nation’s most loved media icons, Bert Newton

The television icon was farewelled at a state funeral in Melbourne, with politicians, celebrities and TV industry personalities all in attendance at the St Patrick’s Cathedral.

Newton’s wife Patti along with some immediate family members arrived at the church in a white limo at 9:15am

With Melbourne’s weather hosting grey skies and light rain, it was a day to remember an icon that touched the lives of many, through his smile and laughter.

Television and radio stars such as Eddie McGuire and Peter Hitchener were in attendance, filing into the cathedral to pay tribute to the 83 year old.

Speaking outside the cathedral, TV personality Eddie McGuire said he was deeply honoured to be reading the eulogy.

“She didn’t tell me what to say, but she was pretty keen for people to see the other side of Bert,” McGuire said.

Matthew is an actor and director who is currently based in New York, therefore he wasn’t able to attend the funeral in person.
