Diego salutes Don Diego
Diego Maradona saluted his father "Don Diego" who passed away at the age of 87, saying he was at peace and with the "love of us all."
Maradona senior died on Thursday at a Buenos Aires private clinic after failing to recover from long-standing coronary and respiratory illnesses.
Argentina World Cup winner Diego Maradona had been at his father's bedside since flying in from his Dubai home on June 2.
"He is at peace now with all the love of all of us," said an emotional Maradona as he visited a city centre funeral home.
"Don Diego", a popular figure throughout Argentina, had been admitted to hospital for the third time in the last year.
