Mourners pay tribute to former NI Civil Service titan Sir Kenneth Bloomfield during funeral service
Other guests at the service paying tribute to Sir Kenneth included Ulster Unionist Party leader Mike Nesbitt, former Ulster and Ireland rugby player Trevor Ringland and the Lord-Lieutenant of Belfast Dame Fionnuala Jay-O'Boyle.
Sir Kenneth died peacefully on Friday at the age of 94.
He was the much loved and loving husband of Lady Elizabeth Bloomfield and a devoted father of Caroline and Tanya as well as a highly respected father-in-law of Boyd.
Sir Kenneth joined the Civil Service in 1952 and would rise through the ranks to head the organisation in 1984.
After standing down in 1991, he would later become the BBC's National Governor for Northern Ireland.
In 1997, he would be tasked by the then Secretary of State, Mo Mowlam, to take on the role of NI Victims Commissioner.
While at their home in Crawfordsburn in 1988 and while he was still the head of the Civil Service, he and his wife would become targets of an IRA bomb attack outside their home.
Neither of them were injured in the Co Down blast.
NI leaders paid tribute to Mr Bloomfield over the weekend.
'I was sorry to learn of the passing of Sir Kenneth Bloomfield. He gave many years of service to Northern Ireland and did so with thoughtfulness and dedication,' said the DUP leader, Gavin Robinson.
'His calm approach, even when targeted by the IRA, earned respect across the board, and his contribution to public life will not be forgotten.
'My thoughts and prayers are with his family and all who knew him at this sad time.'

Also sharing her condolences was the Alliance Party leader, Naomi Long.
'Sir Kenneth had a distinguished career in public service over many years and in many roles,' said the Justice Minister.
'He and his wife were personally targeted in the Troubles, when their home was attacked by an IRA bomb, but he did not allow it to deter him from his enduring commitment to public service.
'In the decades since his formal retirement, he continued that commitment, offering his skills and experience in the service of the community, most particularly in his work as Victims' Commissioner in the early days of the Assembly, a role which he notably described as being a 'painful privilege'.
'I know that he kept in touch with political developments and was especially supportive of efforts to ensure the devolved administration was put on a firm and stable footing.
'On behalf of myself and Alliance, I would wish to extend our deepest sympathies to Lady Elizabeth and the family circle on their very personal loss."
UUP leader Mr Nesbitt described Sir Kenneth as a 'great intellect' and 'one of our finest'.

‘I couldn't risk coming clean and telling her': IRA bomber shares how he told partner the truth of his guilty in new book
Psychologists say the BBC reality show Traitors is compelling to audiences worldwide because it taps into universal themes of trust, deception and the human psyche. But during the Troubles, these themes were a reality for many couples, family members and friends turned against each other in a backdrop that had none of the opulence of a luxurious Scottish castle, nor the promise of a sizeable cash prize if the deception paid off.

Whitehall will not be improved by recruiting based on social class
The usually wise-headed Pat McFadden would be advised to rethink his proposals TAYFUN SALCI/ALAMY G eorge Orwell declared eight decades ago that 'England is the most class-ridden country under the sun'. It is a reputation that the nation has tried, with some success, to shed — especially when it comes to its institutions. In modern times the civil service has been seen as the embodiment of British fairness: an institution to which one is admitted, and rises up through, on merit. It may be biased towards the well-educated, but fairness has long been at the core of its recruitment model. Yet the Starmer government has proposed to do away with that classless model. Pat McFadden, the usually wise-headed Cabinet Office minister, hopes to diversify the social makeup of the civil service by restricting internships to those from working-class backgrounds. Under his proposals, a form of elitism in reverse, Whitehall's main internship scheme will be open only to those from 'lower socio-economic backgrounds', defined by what the applicant's parents' jobs were when he or she was aged 14. These internships are important as the gateway to coveted places on the civil service 'fast stream' graduate programme. In this day and age, parental occupation is a bizarre criterion. Having tied itself in knots over its definition of 'working people' Labour is now threatening to do the same with 'working class'. • Civil service internships will be only for working class Mr McFadden's proposals are a disheartening departure from the guiding principle of the Northcote–Trevelyan reforms of 1854, which created the modern Whitehall. The aim was simple: to ensure that 'the best and energetic rise to the top' while 'the dull and inefficient remain at the bottom'. In place of the old boy network came exams, training and transparent selection. Mr McFadden's regressive proposal is unlikely to succeed. It is based on the assumption that working-class candidates will fail unless the system is rigged in their favour. The fact that some 56 per cent of Britons self-define as 'working class' points to the emptiness of the exercise. At what point does someone stop being working class? Is it, say, when a postman becomes a manager? Would a child of a teacher, a respected but hardly elite profession, be excluded? The scheme also assumes that class is a permanent condition, and family background a fixed identity. Countless youngsters who do not neatly qualify as either 'privileged' or 'deprived' will be written off. Mr McFadden's wizard wheeze risks interviews for internships becoming re-enactments of Monty Python's Four Yorkshiremen sketch, a race to the social bottom in which candidates will seek to outdo each other with tales of hardship. Just as Sir Keir Starmer is at pains to remind us he is the son of a toolmaker, so too will interns be at pains to burnish their proletarian credentials. Hailing from the proverbial cardboard box or septic tank offers little indication of administrative ability. The real problem is that talent is spread equally but opportunity is not. For many bright young people, housing and childcare are unaffordable, limiting their horizons. Mr McFadden would do better to tackle these structural issues. It should be perfectly possible to create a recruitment system that is rigorous yet fair. In law and finance firms have experimented successfully with name-blind or school-blind recruitment. These systems test the individual, not the bloodline. Once class is established as a selection criterion and merit becomes secondary, trust in public institutions will inevitably erode.

Labour's Civil Service proposals are unfair and misguided
That the Civil Service is in dire need of a shake-up is accepted, at this point, across much of Westminster. The frustrations are justified. The public sector is, as George Staunton found Imperial China, felt to be staffed by those who feel that 'everything is excellent' and 'proposals for improvement would be superfluous'. This agreement stretches only as far as the sense that something must change, however. The proposals on the table for reform are deeply contested, and potentially harmful. Labour's proposal to limit Civil Service internships to those from ' lower socio-economic backgrounds ' is a retrograde step which would impoverish the pool of talent available to ministers by restricting entry based on family circumstance, and would represent another blow to the idea that parents should work for their children's futures. The Government would be better advised to hark back to the Northcote-Trevelyan report, which attempted to address a Civil Service which attracted the 'unambitious', 'indolent' and 'incapable' who did not fancy 'the competition of their contemporaries', but were attracted by 'the comparative lightness of the work'. The solutions put forward included, among other things, entrance examinations open to all, merit-based promotion, and ensuring that civil servants were fully employed to the full extent of their abilities. Such an embrace of meritocracy would surely be morally and practically preferable to further clumsy attempts at social engineering.
