Manchester United and England great Bobby Charlton's funeral was held at Manchester Cathedral, attended by approximately 1,000 guests including Prince William, Sir Alex Ferguson, and UEFA president Aleksander Ceferin.
Charlton, who passed away last month at the age of 86, is remembered as one of the greatest English soccer players in history, having survived the 1958 Munich air disaster and going on to win the 1966 World Cup and the European Cup in 1968.
The funeral procession began at Old Trafford stadium, with fans paying their respects as the hearse carrying Charlton's coffin passed by.
Charlton's legacy at Manchester United, where he played from 1956-73, making 758 appearances and scoring 249 goals, is assured, with his values and contributions woven into the very fabric of the club.
Despite some notable absences, including United manager Erik ten Hag due to a personal commitment in the Netherlands, the guest list was a testament to Charlton's impact on the sport, with representatives from rival clubs and former teammates in attendance.
