According to accounts from mourners who attended the ceremony, the widower said he wanted the occasion to become “public” — explaining that he has another household comprising a wife, children, and grandchildren.
He told the gathering that he intended to acknowledge that relationship openly, even as the burial of the late Liz was ongoing.
Witnesses claim that, in a dramatic turn, the husband brought the other family onto the stage while addressing the congregation.
The plan, he said, was for each member to step forward and introduce themselves to the audience.
However, the moment quickly shifted from solemnity to confrontation.
When the husband tried to give a microphone to one of his children to speak, the eldest son of the late Elizabeth reportedly intervened.
Mourners say the son grabbed the microphone from his father, forcing the ceremony to pause.
In response, the family members who had been brought on stage were ordered back to their seats, and the crowd reacted with cheers as order was restored.
The atmosphere remained tense as the eldest son later took the stage himself.
In a pointed address, he accused his father of neglecting their mother during her illness.
He further claimed that the late Liz was not respected even after death, arguing that her burial should have remained focused on mourning rather than introducing competing relationships.
His remarks drew attention from different sections of the congregation, with many listeners appearing divided between those who supported the outburst and others who urged calm.
