South Africans are preparing to bid their final farewell to Archbishop Emeritus Desmond Tutu. Mourners at St. George’s Cathedral include close friends and family, clergy and a few guests, including former Irish president Mary Robinson, former President Thabo Mbeki and Premier Alan Winde.

Tutu’s long-time friend, retired bishop Michael Nuttall, who was Anglican Church dean when Tutu was the archbishop of Cape Town, will deliver the sermon.
