Funerals have been held for two of the 15 victims of Sunday's mass shootings at a Jewish festival on Sydney's famous Bondi Beach in Australia. Both of them were rabbis. Relatives and friends expressed their grief, shock and anger over the deaths, while others have spoken of the need for reconciliation. Katie Watson is in Bondi.
There's a very heavy police presence here at the funeral of Elie Schlanger, a British-born rabbi.
There are bags being checked. The roads are shut off.
Just a short while ago, a hearse pulled up and a coffin was removed. They laid over a black velvet shroud with the Star of David on it. and the coffin was taken inside. There were mourners weeping as it entered the synagogue. More mourners now are coming down, and the ceremony is about to begin.
We have all been hoping over the last three days that we would wake up and somehow realize that this was all a terrible dream. We can't wish that anymore. We are here, raw and devastated, crying in unbearable pain, along with the entire Jewish people and all good people across Australia and the world over.

Eli Schlanger's father-in-law, Rabbi Ullman, was also one of those who gave an emotional address.
And you became everything to me. My hands, my feet.
Eli was the best husband. The best father. The best son. We all lost a son.
Hundreds of mourners are now on the steps of the synagogue as the service ends.
The coffin's being put into a hearse. Now it's the chance for the public to pay their respects to Rabbi Eli Schlanger as the funeral procession goes through Bondi.
