STORYLINE:
Family, friends and admirers of Bollywood star Dev Anand gathered in London on Saturday for the funeral of the silver screen idol.
Anand, a charismatic and flamboyant Indian film fixture for more than half a century, died of a heart attack in Britain's capital a week ago.
He was 88.
Anand's son Suniel was among the mourners at the cremation ceremony.
A memorial service was scheduled for later in the day at the Bharatiya Vidya Bhavan, an Indian cultural centre, in west London.
Anand's ashes will be taken back to India, where a remembrance ceremony will be held in Mumbai, the capital of the Indian film industry.
The son of a Punjab lawyer, Anand studied English Literature and Law, eventually moving in his early 20s to Mumbai, then called Bombay, where he pursued a love of acting.
Known for his good looks, melodious voice and success as a romantic lead, Anand was considered a superstar within just a few years of his 1946 screen debut in the Hindi-language film "Hum Ek Hain".
Others in his family followed, with his brothers Chetan and Vijay also winning praise as film producers, screenwriters and directors.
Dev Anand also began producing in 1949, and made his directorial debut in 1971 with the popular hippie cult film "Hare Rama Hare Krishna".
Anand released his latest film, "Chargesheet," just a few months ago and was reportedly working on another script when he died.
His many accolades included lifetime achievement awards from Filmfare in 1993 and Screen Videocon in 1996.
Also known for social work, Anand dabbled in politics in the 1970s, launching a short-lived political party and leading other film stars in opposing then-Prime Minister Indira Gandhi's "Emergency" regime, which gave her the power to rule by decree.
