Dion Church farewelled (photos)

Koriniti Marae was filled with stetsons yesterday as New Zealand's "king of rodeo'' was farewelled for the last time. Mourners came from around the country and as far away as Canada to join family and friends paying respects to Dion Church, who died of a heart attack on September 9. He was 43.
