Some of the biggest names of British 90s music attended Manchester Cathedral on Monday for the funeral of Stone Roses bass player Gary “Mani” Mounfield.

Bandmates Ian Brown and John Squire – as well as rockers Liam Gallagher, Paul Weller, Bobby Gillespie and Bez, from the Happy Mondays – were among the famous faces.

Mounfield died last month at the age of 63.
