The children of Sir Paul Holmes are expected to pay tribute to their father at his funeral today in Parnell, where organisers are preparing for more than a thousand mourners to gather.
The 1pm funeral for the broadcasting icon is expected to be the largest hosted by the cathedral since Sir Edmund Hillary was farewelled in 2008.
Join us here from 12.45pm to watch a live stream of the service.
