The service was attended by a tearful Papiss Cisse, a former team-mate at Newcastle who currently plays his football in China for Shandong Luneng.

Other former team-mates flew out following his death last Monday, as did his agent Emanuele Palladino.

Fans outside carried a banner saying "RIP" with Tiote's face and chanted his name, while soldiers saluted the fallen footballer.

Last week members of an official fan club visited the Beijing side’s stadium to lay flowers on the pitch in a brief ceremony.

Tiote only moved to China in February having left Newcastle, playing a handful of games.

"We are in pain and very, very sad to see him die at such a young age. There would definitely be a silent tribute."
