Music mogul Sean 'Diddy' Combs displayed his immense heartbreak as former model Kim Porter's funeral took on Saturday in Georgia with her gold casket the centre of attention and fireworks display sending her off. The 49-year-old was pictured mourning as the events moved on from the church to the burial ceremony in Colombus and at several points he had to take time out alone to gather his thoughts. In one image Combs clutched a glossy booklet and sat by the gravestone of Porter's mother Sarah Lee Porter, who passed away in 2014, wearing a sombre expression on his face amid the proceedings

The mother of his children was being buried near her parent as guests - including many celebrities - said farewell.
In an Instagram post shortly afterwards he called Porter 'the truest definition of a mother'.
Singer Usher Raymond appeared dressed in green and gave Diddy a hug as they stood near where Porter was to be buried.
The eulogy was read by Noel Jones while Bishop Marvin Winans and Mario Winans paid musical tribute.
Others who gave reflections at the Cascades Hills Church in Columbus included Mary J. Blige, Dallas Austin, Ebony Electra, Marvett Britto, Diddy, and Porter's son, actor-and-singer Quincy Brown.
Quincy broke down as he spoke and was joined at the mic by his father, Al B. Sure!, and Diddy.

The service was packed with celebrities like best friend Kimora Lee Simmons, Missy Elliot, Lil Kim, Tichina Arnold, NeNe Leakes, Fat Joe, Kandi Burress, Winnie Harlow, Ryan Destiny, Stevie J and more.
The funeral for the 47-year-old started at 11am ET. The procession headed to Evergreen Memorial Park to lay Porter to rest next to her mother. What's Going On by Marvin Gaye played as they left and fireworks were shot at the site
On Friday, Diddy hosted a private service at Charles E Huff International Funeral Home.
Diddy - along with sons Quincy Brown and Christian Casey Combs - was seen leaving the service.
She gave birth to Qunicy in 1991 while dating producer and artist Al B. Sure! starting in 1990.
Porter and Diddy share three children together, twin girls Jessie James and D'Lila, 11, and 20-year-old son Christian.
The couple had been on and off for 13 years and following their split, the pair continued to co-parent their children and remained like family with one another.
