(ROUGH CUT - NO REPORTER NARRATION) Hundreds of Prodigy fans gathered in Bocking, an area of the English town of Braintree, on Friday (March 29) afternoon to say their final good-byes to the band's lead singer Keith Flint.
Flint died on March 4, aged 49, in an apparent suicide.
The funeral procession followed a 2-1/2-mile path to St Mary's Church and while the church service itself was reserved for friends and family, Flint's bandmates had invited fans to line the route.
Born in northeast London, Flint co-founded Prodigy with Liam Howlett and Leeroy Thornhill.
He was one of the best known faces of British electronic music, performing apparently random dance moves often with eccentric hair cuts, sometimes styled as devil's horns, and heavy makeup around his eyes.
