After a life of triumph and success, of unimaginable heartbreak and pain, of redemption and recovery, this was Sir Bobby Charlton’s final journey.
One final trip past Old Trafford before a service at Manchester Cathedral that focused on the family man and the 'selfless, kind and generous' soul devoted to helping others.
One thousand people packed the Cathedral for Charlton’s funeral - before a private committal takes place on Tuesday - with the great and the good of the footballing world in attendance.
But Charlton the football man is a story known around the globe. In tributes from former Manchester United chief executive David Gill, Manchester United Foundation CEO John Shiels and particularly Charlton’s grandson, William Balderston, a picture was painted of someone who always had time for others, but who put family at the centre of his thoughts.
