Team-mates from past and present gathered for Cheick Tiote's memorial service on Tuesday following the former Newcastle United player's shock death earlier in June.
Tiote died while training with Chinese club Beijing Enterprises, and well wishers were given an opportunity to pay their respects to the midfielder during the Beijing service.
The Ivorian's former Toon team-mate Papiss Cisse was in attendance and couldn't fight back the tears as he paid tribute to Tiote.
The 30-year-old's body will be flown back to Ivory Coast on Wednesday before a private funeral service is held.
