The city of Manchester said its final goodbye to Man Utd and England legend Sir Bobby Charlton today - we spoke to some of the fans paying their respects at Old Trafford.
“Sir Bobby, the legacy you left us with. History, dignity & integrity. Our promise to you. We will protect that legacy and keep the red flag flying high" - the words on a banner erected outside Old Trafford today. Manchester United invited supporters to gather for Sir Bobby Charlton's funeral procession and they turned out in their droves.
Jayne was able to speak and said: "He was a great footballer and he played with true sportsmanship. I think the new generation could learn a lot from him and he conducted himself well on the pitch and away from it." There were tales about Charlton shared and fondest memories exchanged on the Old Trafford forecourt, while some chose to solemnly stand instead, waiting to bid their final goodbye to an all-time great.
His friend Chris added: "The man devoted his life to Manchester United, he is Mr Manchester United and I think it's really important today that we came here and spend time with our United family here because it's a close-knit family.
