Former President Benigno Aquino of the Philippines was laid to rest in a Manila cemetery on Saturday beside his parents, two of the Southeast Asian country's democracy icons.

Hundreds of mourners in black and white, some also wearing yellow — the color associated with the Aquino family and a 1986 revolution that toppled a dictator — ribbons and face masks, attended a funeral mass and burial ceremony.

Aquino, president from 2010 to 2016, died at age 61 in a Manila hospital on Thursday of kidney failure as a result of diabetes.
