The International Cricket Council's (ICC) president Percy Sonn was laid to rest on Saturday.

Sonn died last Sunday from complications following colon surgery.

Leading members of the international cricketing fraternity, the government and judiciary filled the St George's Cathedral in Cape Town as Sonn was eulogised.

Sonn, 57, succeeded Ehsan Mani as head of the world governing body in June 2006 after two years as vice-president.

Independent Online reports that pall bearers into the cathedral included Zimbabwean cricket administrator Peter Chingoka and Gerald Majola, Cricket South Africa's CEO.
