Thousands of mourners queued through the night to pay respects to Brazil legend Pele, who is lying in state at the stadium of his former club Santos.

Pele's coffin is in the centre of the pitch at the Urbano Caldeira stadium in Sao Paulo, and fans have lined the streets to get into the ground.

There will be a procession through the streets of Santos later today, as well as a private family burial.

Pele, a three-time World Cup winner, died on December 29 at the age of 82 after a battle with cancer.

After his death, Brazil's government declared three days of national mourning.
