The coffins have been carried into the church and the sounds of bells have been replaced by the soft sounds of stringed instruments, as those present begin to slowly enter the interior.
"Many of the mourners are trying to comfort each other as they walk with their heads bowed towards the church. Absolute silence prevails. The atmosphere is deeply emotional and touching — a moment that speaks louder than words," reports the Daily Mail.
Meanwhile, according to "The Mirror", the Portuguese Football Federation has confirmed that Cristiano Ronaldo will not be attending the funeral.
Jota and his brother died in a car accident near the Spanish province of Zamora in the early hours of Thursday.
The incident occurred at around 00:30 local time, according to a statement from Spain's Guardia Civil.
Jota had been advised not to travel by plane after a minor surgical procedure, so he was travelling by car to catch the ferry that would take him back to England, where he was expected to begin preparations for the new season on Monday.n./GazetaExpress/
