Newspapers such as The Sun, Mirror and Daily Mail all had the funeral of Sven-Göran Eriksson as top news on their websites on Friday.
Daily Mail writes that the somber mood is accompanied by "a sense of gratitude for the man who was both a great in football and a local hero".
"Svennis" was England's national team captain between 2001-2006, and led the team in the World Championship 2002, European Championship 2004 and World Championship 2006. He was the first foreigner to coach England's men's national team.
The Telegraph highlights a chronicle that Eriksson wrote before his passing and which was published in the newspaper the day before the funeral.
"I would like people to remember me as a good coach who tried to do my best. I hope they enjoyed having me as a coach. My message to everyone would be: don't give up. Never give up."
The British newspapers also note that superstar David Beckham chooses to attend personally. A source tells The Sun that Beckham was "very close to Sven and wanted to say a personal goodbye", but adds that he will keep a "low profile".
David Beckham was captain of the national team for England when Sven-Göran Eriksson was national team captain, and he visited Torsby last summer to meet his friend one last time.
