Rihanna Fights Back The Tears As She Attends Grandmother's Funeral

Rihanna was fighting back the tears as she left a Manhattan hotel yesterday to attend her grandmother's funeral.

The singer was spotted walking hand-in-hand with a friend as she made her way to her car to take her to the service in Brooklyn, New York. Dressed in a sophisticated navy dress with her hair in a bun, RiRi looked visibly grief-stricken as she prepared to say goodbye to her beloved grandmother Dolly.
Rihanna revealed the death of her grandmother on Twitter on July 1st after she passed away from cancer in a New York hospital. The 24-year-old has been keeping her followers up-to-date with her emotions ever since, last night she posted an Instagram pic of a hand-written note which simply read: "IMA TRY TO BE A BIG GIRL NOW #DearDolly."

 After just a few days with her family, it's back to work for Rihanna this weekend as she flies to London to headline the final day of the Wireless festival. Earlier this morning she seemed to confirm she was en route to the UK as she posted "#takeoff". Here's hoping 60,000 odd screaming fans will cheer her up...
