Pel茅 - Brazil's goodbye to an icon

Brazil has said its final farewell to Pel茅 - the only person to have won three World Cups. Thousands lined the streets as his coffin was paraded through Santos, the city where he played so much of his sparkling career. Many waved huge banners and wore the No 10 shirt he made so famous. It's been a time of mourning for Brazilians as they say goodbye to the man they call their King - but it鈥檚 clearly been a moment to celebrate him too.
