The attendees have now come out of the church following the service, and the coffins have been taken to the cemetery in procession.

The service was private, but the words spoken by the Bishop of Porto, Manuel Linda, were broadcast to those standing outside the church.

He said that while attendees “did not want to be here,” they came “by faith” and “in solidarity with Diogo and Andre’s family”.

Later, he addressed Jota’s children, who were not at the service, saying he was praying for them specifically, as well as their mother and grandparents.

“There are no words, but there are feelings,” he said, adding: “We also suffer a lot and we are with you emotionally.”
