By Sean O'hare PUBLISHED: 04:02 EST, 18 January 2013 | UPDATED: 13:27 EST, 18 January 2013 Hundreds of descendants of notorious bush ranger Ned Kelly gathered at a Catholic church in Australia today for a final farewell to the controversial outlaw, 132 years after his death. Mourners, including Kelly's great-grand-niece Joanne Griffiths and great-grandnephew Anthony Griffiths, stood by a funeral car carrying Kelly's remains as they prepared to send him off with a traditional service at St Patrick's Church in Wangaratta, north-east Victoria, in line with his dying wish. His bones - minus his skull, which remains missing - will be buried in an unmarked grave at a private ceremony reportedly alongside his mother and siblings, in Greta, near Glenrowan this Sunday.
