The former Houston mayor’s funeral drew more than 1,000 mourners on Saturday, including 20 of his congressional colleagues from both political parties.

On Saturday, late Houston mayor and congressman Sylvester Turner was laid to rest during services at the Church Without Walls.

Mourners filed into Houston's Church Without Walls Saturday — some wearing black, others in vivid shades of blue — to honor former Mayor and U.S. Rep. Sylvester Turner at his funeral, as a montage of the prolific orator’s speeches played in the sanctuary.
