The service in Gondomar is now over, but as the barriers are removed, people are still making their way into the church cemetery where earlier a private ceremony was held to lay the brothers to rest.
One by one mourners are filing past the brothers' graves.
On top sit two red shirts - floral tributes carried into the church earlier by Liverpool players Virgil Van Dijk and Andy Robertson. They feature the numbers 20 and 30, worn by Diogo and André.
There’s a small card, containing a message from Liverpool Football Club, which ends with the words: "You’ll Never Walk Alone."
As the streets of Gondomar clear of visitors, and it returns to the quiet town it once was, it does so without two of its most famous sons.
But people here say they have left this community in a better place for having lived
