Kanye West's mother has been laid to rest at the True Vine Ministry church in her native Oklahoma City.

Dr Donda West died earlier this month (November 10) in a Los Angeles hospital.

Many of West's friends and supporters attended the service yesterday (November 20), including Jay-Z and Beyoncé.

Anita Baker and John Legend performed at the private ceremony.

Donda West's body was taken to the church in a coffin via white hearse, and after the service was taken to a cemetery by two horse-drawn carriages.

West was present at the service after flying in from two emotional dates on the European leg of his Glow In The Dark Tour.

The star started crying onstage in Paris on Saturday (November 17) after attempting to dedicate a song to her.
