Crowds pay their respects to former world rally champion Colin McRae and his son

Formula 1 racing legend Sir Jackie Stewart, Rangers and Scotland football captain Barry Ferguson and IndyCar champion Dario Franchitti were among the mourners.

The private service at Daldowie Crematorium, near Glasgow, was attended by almost 200 people.

McRae and his son died after their helicopter crashed in Lanarkshire 12 days ago.

Six-year-old Ben Porcelli, a friend of Johnny, also died in the crash, along with Graeme Duncan, 37, who lived in France and had gone to school with McRae.

McRae's widow, Alison, and their nine-year-old daughter, Hollie, were among 500 mourners who attended Ben's funeral earlier this week.

McRae, who was 39, had been flying the helicopter when it came down in the grounds of his Jerviswood home, about a mile north of Lanark on Saturday, September 15.

The Air Accidents Investigation Branch has launched an investigation into the crash.

McRae was Britain's first rally world champion in 1995 and is the son of five-times British rallying champion Jimmy McRae.

McRae and his son made their final journey together in the same coffin.

The three-car funeral cortege arrived at Daldowie's East Chapel at 2.10pm.

McRae's wife Alison and daughter Hollie along with his father Jimmy stepped outside the first car and into the chapel. They were closely followed by other family members including Mr McRae's brother and fellow rally driver Alister.

Former Scotland and Rangers star Ally McCoist was also among the mourners.

The service was conducted by family friend Reverend Tom Houston, who married McRae and his wife, and Rev Steven Reid, Johnny's chaplain at Underbank Primary School in Lanark.

One of McRae's favourite songs, Sitting On The Dock Of The Bay by Otis Redding, was played as the family entered the church.

Mourners, including Ben Porcelli's father Mark and McRae's co-driver Nicky Grist, began leaving at 3pm, almost an hour after the start of the service.

They had heard the address given by McRae's close friend and colleague Robbie Head.

It was followed by a rendition of Highland Cathedral by McRae's niece and nephews.

The benediction was given by Mr Houston.

And mourners left the chapel to the Proclaimers' I'm On My Way.

McRae's father Jimmy embraced mourners before being driven off in a black Mercedes.

The family asked mourners not to send flowers but instead to make donations to three charities, Make A Wish, Brave Heart Children's Trust and The Children's Hospice Association of Scotland.
