Pele's coffin cheered and applauded while being carried to final resting place

Brazilian Pele's coffin has been cheered and applauded while being carried to its final resting place.

The only man to win three World Cups will be buried alongside his father, overlooking the stadium of Santos where he played for most of his club career.

Thousands of people have travelled to Sao Paulo to pay their respects to the 82-year-old, who died last week after a battle with colon cancer.
