Mourners warmly applauded as Denis Law's coffin was taken out of the cathedral. The song Angel by Rod Stewart, which Law and the Scotland World Cup squad of 1974 recorded a version of with the rock singer, was also played, as the service reaches its final stages.

Law supported Aberdeen and watched them when he had enough money to do so, watching local non-league teams when he did not. His obsession with football led to him turning down a place at A berdeen Grammar School, because he would have had to play r ugby there; instead, he attended Powis Acadamy in Aberdeen.

The funeral of Manchester United icon Denis Law has taken place, before a congregation of family, friends, club legends and peers from across the football world.
