Frilingos funeral to be held
Monday

Family and friends will farewell veteran journalist Peter Frilingos at a private funeral service in Sydney on Monday morning.

Frilingos, 59, passed away earlier this week after suffering a massive heart attack while working at his Daily Telegraph desk.

His death shocked the rugby league world and tributes immediately began flowing from the general public, fellow media identities, politicians and players.

Radio 2GB, where Frilingos worked as part of the network?s rugby league commentary team, are expected to broadcast parts of the funeral live.

While the funeral is a private service, it is expected that hundreds of members from the general public will gather outside the church.

2GB?s continuous call team will spend much of the weekend paying tribute to Frilingos, who was a vital part of the show?s success.
