On Monday morning, thousands of supporters gathered on the streets as the hearse approached the stadium; some had waited overnight to see the casket.

Edinho, the son of Pele, and former Brazil midfielder Ze Roberto assisted in carrying the casket as Neymar, Vinicius Junior, and Real Madrid brought flower tributes.

It will be a "intense" day, predicted Brazilian journalist Ricardo Seyton, who was close to Pele during his career.


He told BBC 5 Live that it is the general populace that is contributing to the beauty of the day.
