Preston 1-3 Liverpool: Emotional tributes to Diogo Jota as Reds begin pre-season with a win

There was not a dry eye in the ground, nor an arm without goosebumps, as Claudia Rose Maguire serenaded the 22,189 in attendance with an emotional rendition of 'You'll Never Walk Alone' ahead of kick-off - a tear-jerker at the best of times, but even more so given the circumstances of the day.

Music to die for: List of funeral favourite songs released

The most popular songs played at funerals have been revealed, with Andrea Bocelli and Sarah Brightman's Time To Say Goodbye top of the list. Co-op Funeralcare said its study of songs over the past year at funerals it arranged showed the second most popular was Frank Sinatra's My Way. Tina Turner's The Best and Westlife's You Raise Me Up were also in the top 10. The Co-op said the top 10 were: Time to Say Goodbye – Andrea Bocelli, Sarah Brightman My Way – Frank Sinatra Somewhere Over The Rainbow – Eva Cassidy You'll Never Walk Alone – Liverpool FC The Best – Tina Turner Supermarket Flowers – Ed Sheeran Wind Beneath My Wings – Bette Midler Abide With Me (hymn) We'll Meet Again – Vera Lynn You Raise Me Up – Westlife Liverpool FC's You'll Never Walk Alone by Gerry and the Pacemakers topped a list of sports-themed songs played at funerals. Among the quirky songs played at funerals over the last year, included Ding Dong The Witch Is Dead from The Wizard of Oz, Dance Monkey by Tones & I, the Jaws movie soundtrack, and We Like To Party by Vengaboys. Gill Stewart, managing director at Co-op Funeralcare said: 'Music has a powerful way of bringing back memories, reflecting our personalities, and connecting us to loved ones. 'Choosing a song that is meaningful to you can be an important part of saying goodbye, whether it's a traditional hymn or something light-hearted and quirky. 'While every funeral is unique and deeply personal, our annual music chart highlights the tracks that continue to resonate across the nation. 'This year, we're continuing to encourage open conversations around end-of-life planning. 'Talking about the music you'd like at your funeral is a simple yet meaningful step and can offer real comfort to those left behind.' The research was conducted among Co-op's funeral directors and arrangers during May and June 2025 based on more than 90,000 funerals conducted in the last 12 months.
