A memorial service has been held for Australia's most celebrated outlaw more than a 130 years after he was hanged.
Ned Kelly was executed after being wounded in a shootout with police at Glenrowan in northern Victoria in 1880.
His remains were initially thrown into a mass grave and it was not until 2010 that DNA testing confirmed their identity.
Hundreds of Kelly's descendants mourned him at a Catholic funeral service in Wangaratta, north-east of Melbourne on Friday. He will be buried alongside his mother in the town on Sunday.
Kelly's relatives have insisted they were not seeking to glorify the notorious bushranger, but to give him a dignified farewell, the BBC reports.
To many Australians, the bank robber was a heroic anti-establishment figure who fought British colonists in the 19th century.
To others, he was a violent criminal who murdered three police officers.
