Thousands at George Best Funeral
Football legend George Best today made his final journey though the streets of his home city in an extraordinary funeral for an extraordinary man.
The Manchester United and Northern Ireland icon’s remarkable life, which took him from Belfast’s working class Cregagh estate to the theatre of dreams, Old Trafford, was celebrated by about 300 family and friends in an emotional ceremony at Stormont’s parliament buildings.
But it was also shared publicly by 32,000 people who packed into the Stormont estate and thousands of others who lined the streets of Belfast to pay their last respects.
