MODENA, Italy (AP) - Verdi's "Ave Maria" wafted through Modena's cathedral on Saturday as the world bade farewell to Luciano Pavarotti with a funeral close to his classical roots, attended by family, dignitaries and close friends and followed by admirers around the world.

Pope Benedict XVI sent a telegram of condolence, which was read out at the start of the service. He said Pavarotti had "honored the divine gift of music through his extraordinary interpretative talent."

Thousands of people watched the invitation-only service from a huge television screen erected in Modena's main piazza, where a recording of the tenor's most famous works boomed out during two days of public viewing.

Pavarotti's white maple casket, covered in sunflowers - his favorite - lay before the altar, with his wife, Nicoletta Mantovani, looking on. Sitting nearby were Pavarotti's three daughters from his first marriage.

He died Thursday in his home on Modena's outskirts after battling pancreatic cancer for more than a year. He was 71 and was beloved by generations of opera-goers and pop fans alike for his breathtaking high "Cs" and his hearty renditions of folk songs like "O Sole Mio," and popular tunes like "My Way."

City officials said 87,000 memorial cards had been handed out to well-wishers.

Admirers signed books of condolences placed by vases of sunflowers outside the cathedral. The Foreign Ministry said similar books would be available for signing at Italian embassies and consulates around the world.

Bulgarian-born soprano Raina Kabaivanska, a fellow Modena resident who had worked with Pavarotti, cried as she sang the "Ave Maria" from Verdi's "Otello" as the ceremony began.

Luciano Pavarotti died today at his home in Modena, Italy. Maestro remained positive until finally succumbing to the last stages of pancreatic cancer. Pavarotti was the king of tenors, his voice was a God-given glory. May his soul rest in peace.

Luciano Pavarotti died exactly 10 years after Priness Diana's funeral. Luciano was close friends with Diana and was deeply grieved over her loss. He attended her funeral and died exactly 10 years later. May they both rest in peace ♥

He was part of the four tenors with Placido Domingo, Jose Carreras and Mario Lanza.

Opera has come again into the public eye. Recently Paul Potts sang Nessun Dorma in Britain's Got Talent. BGT. Paul Potts won the competition.

For Christ's sake, stop mentioning Pavarotti and others in one and the same sentence! There have been many great singers, but Pavarottis has been the one and only divine singer.

Goosebump stuff.

Pavarotti was a classic., and a one of a kind. But lets be fair---there were other greats as well and history has shown that---but if it makes you feel better than let this be said. He set the standard and at the same time raised the bar to such a level that we may never see in our life time another like him again ! If GOD were to be so kind, Than that would be to have him come back and raise the bar again and thrill us all to tears of joy ! those are the best tears of all ! Feel better now ?

[waiotahi52]

Why do my eyes have tears in them everytime I hear this man?I think when I hear him it makes me realize the beautiful side of human behavior, of what we are capable of in the direction of good, not the obsession with death and destruction of our fellow human beings. There is hope for mankind in that voice.

Like Gigli and Caruso,Pavarotti was unique. Probably every 100 years or so, a singer comes along who transcends all others and enters the realm very few enter.... They redefine their art and the world notices and looks on in amazement. Pavarotti was born with a natural voice that was big , bright and truly unique. He worked hard at creating his characteristic tone and even in his 30s had to correct his breathing technique.. And he left us with a legacy that truly is incredible. Grazie Maestro
