Roger Ebert's funeral draws family, fans

Heavy rain hasn't deterred streams of family, friends and fans from celebrated film critic Roger Ebert's funeral in Chicago today.

The service takes place beginning 11 a.m. ET at Holy Name Cathedral.

Ebert, the longtime Chicago Sun-Times writer who was the first critic ever honoured with the prestigious Pulitzer Prize, died Thursday at the age of 70.

His death came just days after he revealed that his cancer had returned. On Saturday, the paper published his final review — a look at Terrence Malick's To The Wonder.

Though he became a household name for his "thumbs up, thumbs down" movie-review TV show with fellow reviewer Gene Siskel in the late 1970s and early '80s, Ebert gained a massive new audience in recent years through blogging and Twitter after multiple cancer surgeries left him unable to speak.

Another memorial for Ebert is scheduled for Thursday.
