The former Premier of Niue has been described as a "champion" of the country at his state funeral.
The service took place at the Alofi Ekalesia church with interment at the family residence at Fonuakula.
As a mark of respect, all flags throughout Niue were at half-mast.
The former leader of Niue died two weeks ago after a long illness.
He was premier for 12 years before missing out on a seat in last month's general elections.
