More than 1,000 people have attended a funeral service for the former Bishop of Gloucester.
The Right Reverend Michael Perham died aged 69 last month after a battle with cancer.
He was appointed in 2004 and retired in November 2014.
People travelled from as far away as America and Sweden to attend the service at Gloucester Cathedral, which was presided over by current bishop the Right Reverend Rachel Treweek.
In 2015 Bishop Perham was cleared by both the Church of England and police of two allegations of historical sexual abuse.
