Future king Prince William was in attendance at the funeral for the late Manchester United footballing icon Sir Bobby Charlton on Monday, who recently passed away aged 86
Thousands of fans turned out at Old Trafford to bid a final farewell to Manchester United great Sir Bobby Charlton.
Representatives of the club’s under-18 and under-21 teams formed a guard of honour flanking the statue and, behind it, there were numerous black and white photographs depicting Charlton’s long and illustrious career as a player and then a director at the club. The cortege made its way across the stadium apron, lined by crowds three or four deep in places, before making a right turn out of the complex to continue its three-mile journey to Manchester Cathedral in the city centre.
