Shane Warne’s state funeral will be held at the iconic Melbourne Cricket Ground (MCG) in front of an expected crowd of 1,00,000 people in a fitting farewell to the Australian spin king in the next two to three weeks, according to reports here.

The public memorial will be held after Warne’s family mourn him at a private service. The details of the icon’s last rites after the memorial service, however, are not yet known.
