Nine years ago today, Daniel Morcombe went missing. Today, he can finally rest in peace
IN the arms of his brothers Dean and Bradley, Daniel Morcombe has been carried towards his final resting place.
Thousands wept and hugged as they watched Daniel's final procession to the strains of the emotion-charged Elton John song that shares his name.
Hundreds of students stood shoulder to shoulder with friends, Daniel Morcombe Foundation supporters, SES, police and complete strangers in a special guard of honour.
Tears that had been welling for 90 minutes during the farewell ceremony finally flowed as Daniel was taken away for a private burial service at Woombye Cemetery, just a few hundred metres from his childhood home.
Bruce Morcombe, as he had done so many times before, put his arm around wife Denise to comfort her and help her walk as they followed the procession
