A final farewell to Niki

Niki Lauda will be put to rest today in Vienna.

Before this afternoon's private ceremony, which will be attended by past and present stars of F1, hundreds of fans were given an opportunity to pay their last respects to the three-time world champion in St. Stephen's Cathedral.

As they bid a final farewell, many bowed in deference to Lauda's famous red helmet placed upon the casket.
