Cardiff City's boss Neil Warnock will be paying his respects at the funeral of Emiliano Sala, who died in a plane crash last month.
The footballer had just signed for the club when the light aircraft he was travelling in came down in the English Channel.
Jorgelina Tunineti is from Sala's hometown of Progreso, where a wake and service is being held later.
He says he was like any local for the town.
