Hundreds of thousands of people have lined the streets of Santos in southern Brazil to bid farewell to football legend Pele.
The three-time World Cup winner — considered by many to be the greatest footballer of all time — was carried through the city on a fire truck, his coffin draped with the flags of Brazil and the Santos Football Club.
