Pelé’s coffin has arrived at its final resting place after a procession carried his body through the streets where he grew up.
A Catholic Mass was celebrated earlier on Tuesday at the Vila Belmiro stadium before Pelé’s casket began its journey, atop a fire engine, through the streets of Santos, Sao Paolo.
The procession started at around 1pm (GMT), inching past crowds of adoring fans. Firefighters and soldiers sat around the coffin, which was draped in a Brazilian flag.
The procession travelled past the house of Pelé’s mother, 100-year-old Celeste Arantes, as it made its way towards Santos’s ‘vertical cemetery’ for a private burial service.
