Thousands Join Santos Streets Procession to Bid Pelé Farewell
Thousands of Brazilians lined the streets of Santos to bid farewell to soccer legend Pelé on Tuesday. The casket, draped in the Brazilian flag travelled on top of a white firefighters truck as several police officers on motorbikes were seen escorting the procession. Edson Arantes do Nascimento, popularly known as Pelé, died on December 29, aged 82 after a long battle with cancer. He's the only football player in the world to have won three World Cups - in 1958, 1962 and 1970.
