Thousands of mourners have gathered to pay their respects to Brazil legend, Pele, who is lying in state at the ground of his former club, Santos.
Pele’s coffin was placed in the centre of the pitch at the Urbano Caldeira Stadium in Sao Paulo, with fans lining the streets to get inside the ground.
Brazil’s Government declared three days of national mourning after Pele’s death.
Arguably the world’s greatest ever player, Pele had been undergoing treatment for colon cancer since 2021 and the three-time World Cup winner died at the age of 82 on 29th December 2022.
There will be a procession through the streets of Santos to a private family burial on Tuesday.
