Thousands of Manchester United fans have gathered at Old Trafford to pay tribute to Denis Law ahead of the funeral of the club great.

Family, fans and footballers from across the generations have bade a final farewell to Manchester United and Scotland legend Denis Law. About 750 mourners paid their respects to one of the game's all-time greats at his funeral earlier.

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.
