Pelé: Funeral procession begins after 24-hour wake
CNN
—
A funeral procession which will take soccer great Pelé to his final resting place has begun Tuesday.
The procession started at the Urbano Caldeira Stadium, home of Pelé’s former club Santos, and his coffin will be carried through the streets of the city of Santos, including passing down the street where Pelé’s 100-year-old mother, Celeste Arantes, lives.
It will continue to the Memorial Necrópole Ecumênica cemetery, where a private funeral will be held for family members.
The three-time World Cup winner died on Thursday at the age of 82 from multiple organ failure due to the progression of colon cancer.
Tributes from around the world have poured in ever since, with people of all ages flocking to his 24-hour public wake, which began on Monday at Santos’ 16,000-seater stadium, popularly known as “Vila Belmiro.”
More than 230,000 people, many wearing Brazil’s iconic yellow jersey, had attended the wake, according to Santos.
The doors to the stadium closed with thousands of mourners still in line and people were turned away, according to CNN teams on the ground.
Thousands have lined the streets, waving flags and applauding as the Brazilian’s coffin passed by.
Pelé’s sister, Lucia, was seen tearfully waving from a balcony at crowds who had gathered outside her mother’s house.
Brazilian president Lula da Silva arrived at the wake on Tuesday morning with police security “very much” reinforced to accommodate the President’s presence, Santos told CNN.
“Pele is incomparable, as a soccer player and as a human being,” Lula said Tuesday, per Reuters.
FIFA president Gianni Infantino also traveled to Brazil to pay his respects on Monday.
“Pelé is eternal,” Infantino told reporters, per Reuters. “FIFA will certainly honor the ‘king’ as he deserves.
“We have asked all football associations in the world to pay a minute of silence before every game and will also ask them, 211 countries, to name a stadium after Pelé. Future generations must know and remember who Pelé was.”
For more than 60 years, the name Pelé has been synonymous with football. He played in four World Cups and is the only player in history to win three, but his legacy stretched far beyond his trophy haul and remarkable goalscoring record.
“I was born to play football, just like Beethoven was born to write music and Michelangelo was born to paint,” Pelé famously said.
Pelé, born Edson Arantes do Nascimento, is widely regarded as one of the greatest players in history and Brazil held three days of national mourning following his death.
Pelé: Brazilians to bid final farewell with wake and coffin procession

Brazilians will pay their final respects to football great Pelé with a 24-hour public wake, which begins on Monday at the Urbano Caldeira Stadium, the home of his former football club, Santos.
On Tuesday, a funeral procession will then carry Pelé’s coffin through the streets of the city of Santos, including passing down the street where Pelé’s 100-year-old mother, Celeste Arantes, lives.
The procession will continue to Pelé’s final resting place, the Memorial Necrópole Ecumênica cemetery, where a private funeral will be held for family members.
Fireworks greeted the hearse carrying Pelé’s coffin as it left the Albert Einstein Hospital in São Paulo, where the three-time World Cup winner died on Thursday from multiple organ failure due to the progression of colon cancer.
The hearse was under a heavy police escort as it headed the stadium, where his coffin will be placed in the middle of the pitch.
Fans had already started lining the streets in the early hours of Monday morning, many holding flags or banners with messages for ‘O Rei’ (“The King”). “Pelé, you are eternal,” read one by the side of the highway.
Inside Santos’ 16,000-seater stadium, a number of large banners had been placed throughout the stands, with one reading “long live The King.”
For more than 60 years, the name Pelé has been synonymous with football. He played in four World Cups and is the only player in history to win three, but his legacy stretched far beyond his trophy haul and remarkable goal-scoring record.

Pelé, born Edson Arantes do Nascimento, is widely regarded as one of the greatest players in history and Brazil held three days of national mourning following his death.
Tributes have poured in from sports stars, politicians and musicians from all around the world for a man that transcended his sport and became a global icon.
Four-legged farewells: Queen’s corgis and pony attend funeral procession | Queen Elizabeth II
Queen Elizabeth II’s staff lined the street outside Buckingham Palace to say farewell to the monarch after her funeral – and it wasn’t just the humans of the royal household who were seen during Monday’s ceremonies. The Queen’s corgis and one of her ponies were led out to witness the procession at Windsor.
The Queen’s dogs, Muick and Sandy, which are pembroke welsh corgis, waited in the quadrangle at Windsor Castle as the funeral cortege arrived while being looked after by two members of staff.
At the time of her death the Queen also had two other dogs – a dorgi called Candy, and Lissy the cocker spaniel. It has been confirmed that Prince Andrew and his ex-wife Sarah Ferguson will look after the corgis. Andrew was later seen in the company of the dogs.

The Queen was first given a corgi when she was seven, and generations of the royal corgis are descended from Susie, a corgi she was given when she was 18.
Also on display was the Queen’s Fell pony, Carltonlima Emma, who was led to the side of the road at a gap between floral tributes while the coffin was driven past.
Usually known just as Emma, the horse was named among the Queen’s favourites for Horse & Hound magazine in 2020 by Terry Pendry, one of the grooms at Windsor. The Queen was a patron of the Fell Pony Society, and continued to ride Emma when she was well into her 90s.
The animals didn’t play quite as prominent a role as they have in some royal funerals of the past. Heads of state were reportedly somewhat surprised at the 1910 funeral of King Edward VII to find themselves behind the monarch’s dog Caesar, a wire fox terrier, in the formal procession.
Caesar is included in a sculpture of Edward VII and his queen atop their tomb in St George’s Chapel, where Queen Elizabeth II’s committal took place on Monday.
Prince George and Princess Charlotte walk in Queen’s funeral procession
The two eldest children of the Prince and Princess of Wales formed part of a procession with the royal family, following the coffin as it entered London’s Westminster Abbey.
Their attendance was confirmed by Buckingham Palace Sunday night with the release of the order of service for the event. The program listed the two Cambridge children, who are second and third in line to the British throne, among the royal procession behind the Queen’s coffin.
George, aged 9, and Charlotte, 7, along with their parents, Prince William and Catherine, Princess of Wales, are joining world leaders, politicians, public figures and European royals, as well as more than 500 dignitaries from around the world, in mourning Britain’s longest-reigning monarch, who died on September 8 at the age of 96.
The siblings followed the coffin behind their parents and ahead of their uncle and aunt, the Duke and Duchess of Sussex.
Prince Louis, their 4-year-old younger brother, is not attending the funeral.
The service, which is expected to be attended by more than 2,000 guests, will include Bible readings and traditional hymns, as well as a sermon from the Archbishop of Canterbury, Justin Welby.

EDINBURGH, Sept 12 (Reuters) – The coffin of the late Queen Elizabeth was taken along the Royal Mile in the Scottish capital Edinburgh on Monday in a solemn procession watched by thousands of people lining the street to pay their respects to Britain’s longest reigning monarch.
The skirl of bagpipes was the only sound as kilted soldiers from the Royal Regiment of Scotland bore the coffin from the Palace of Holyrood House and placed it in the hearse.
King Charles and his siblings – Anne, Andrew and Edward – then walked behind the hearse up the historic street. The coffin will lie in St Giles’ Cathedral for an overnight vigil before being flown to London on Tuesday.

Elizabeth died on Thursday morning in her holiday home at Balmoral, in the Scottish Highlands, at the age of 96 after a 70-year reign, plunging the nation into mourning.
Charles became king on her death and was formally proclaimed as monarch on Saturday.
Tina Richardson, 63, a retiree from Dunbar, was among those standing on the centuries-old Royal Mile beside the Cathedral. She said her middle name was Elizabeth after the late queen.
“She’s like a member of my own family. There’ll never be anyone like her,” she told Reuters. “She was such a beautiful lady who gave us all so much. She dedicated her whole life to the country. In good times and bad she was there, especially during COVID. She united everybody.”

Prince Andrew Cut From Royal Procession as Prince Charles Claims Victory Over Queen
Can’t get enough royals news? Subscribe to Royalist, the Daily Beast’s royals newsletter here.
Prince Andrew was brutally cut out of all public-facing elements of a key royal ceremony Monday, after senior family members rebelled against the queen and demanded that they not be required to appear alongside him in public.
Andrew’s side sought to characterize his exit from a public event known as the Order of the Garter Procession as his “personal decision” but a well-placed palace source told The Daily Beast the move to excise Andrew was a “family decision.”
The last-minute nature of the dramatic palace u-turn is vividly illustrated by the fact that Andrew will be listed on the already-printed official program as participating in the procession.
The queen will not join the procession due to her ongoing mobility issues, but will attend the private lunch, where Andrew will still be a guest. One wonders which lucky individual will be seated next to him.
The Daily Beast understands that Prince Charles was chief among those who made representations to the queen calling for Andrew not to attend the procession. The queen had very much wanted to include Andrew in the procession, and Charles winning this battle of wills is likely to be seen as another sign that the queen is losing her authority over the family, and that Charles is stepping, at least informally, into a quasi-Regent role.
Today’s procession, which is followed by a church service and lunch at Windsor Castle with the queen is a formal part of what is known as “Garter Day,” which honors the members of Britain’s most distinguished order of chivalry, The Order of the Garter.
Garter members include former prime ministers and other senior establishment insiders. Membership is strictly limited to 24, and Tony Blair is the newest member. It is the highest honor in the British system of patronage.
Andrew is a member of the club through the personal gift of the queen, and as such the palace had sought to argue that Andrew was attending in a personal rather than official capacity.
However this is understood to have cut as little ice with other royals as it did with the public. Charles, who began lobbying for a reduced role for his brother over a decade ago, long before his association with Jeffrey Epstein became a mainstay of news coverage of the royal family, is believed to have been particularly concerned that the event could turn into a re-run of Prince Philip’s memorial, when coverage of Andrew escorting his mother by the arm to her seat completely overshadowed the proceedings of the day.
However as parts of the Procession of the Order of the Garter take place in front of the public in Windsor, there were very real fears that Andrew could be booed. Charles is likely to have drawn the line at the risk of exposing one of the most revered institutions of the royal establishment to such contumely.
However the compromise he appears to have been forced to accept is that Andrew will be allowed to participate in the non-public elements of Garter Day, such as Monday’s lunch, and wear the ermine robes of the society to that event.
Andrew’s determination to attend comes hot on the heels of a report that he was lobbying the queen to reinstate him as colonel of the Grenadier Guards, a role which he lost in January along with his HRH styling as the Giuffre case intensified.
The Daily Telegraph quoted a source as saying: “The colonelcy of the Grenadier Guards was his most coveted title and he wants it back. Having remained a Counselor of State, he also believes he should be included at royal and state events.
“Most importantly for him is his status as an HRH and ‘Prince of the Blood’, and he feels that should be reinstated and his position recognized and respected.”
Procession held for volunteer firefighter killed in Southern Indiana double homicide
LOUISVILLE, Ky. (WAVE) – The town of Corydon, Indiana paid their respects for fallen volunteer firefighter Jacob McClanahan Saturday.
The 24-year-old was shot and killed while acting as a Good Samaritan to help a stranger, whose car appeared stuck.
Funeral services were held at Old Capitol United Methodist Church near Corydon at 11 a.m. Saturday before the procession.
According to his obituary, McClanahan was a truck driver for the Harrison County Highway Department, and a member of several organizations including Old Capitol United Methodist Church near Corydon, Ramsey Volunteer Fire Department, Harrison Township Volunteer Fire Department, among others.
“Everyone loved him, everyone that knew him,” a friend of the McClanahan’s, Paulinna Johansen, said. “He was willing to help anybody, anytime, whatever they needed.”
Around 9:30 p.m. Monday night, Indiana State police said McClanahan pulled over to help a Palmyra Police officer with stranded car that ran out of gas along Highway 135.
Within seconds of getting out of their cars, ISP said shots were fired and both McClanahan and Justin Moore, the driver of the stranded car, were killed.
”I have watched this body camera footage more times than I would like to,” Harrison Co Prosecutor Otto Schalk said. “Trying to make sense of a senseless killing.”
Those who knew McClanahan said he died doing what he did best, trying to help.
”He was always just asking if we needed anything,” Johansen said. “And if we were doing okay. Just casually talking. He just was a great person. Genuinely cared about everybody. He was doing what he thought was best and I hate what happened. I really hate what happened. I just don’t want people to think that they still can’t be a good person still though. He changed the community. He made it a better place here.”
