Thousands of fans and football luminaries gathered at Liverpool's Anglican cathedral to pay tribute to Howard Kendall at the funeral of the former Everton great.
Kendall, a Goodison Park favourite as both player and manager, died 12 days ago at the age of 69.
Everton players from the past 50 years were among those in attendance along with famous names from across the world of football.
The service was open to fans but the 1,700 seats quickly filled up and hundreds more gathered outside the gates where proceedings were broadcast via loudspeakers.
Yet more fans gathered at Goodison Park and the funeral cortege did a lap of the ground on its way to the cathedral, pausing by the statue of Dixie Dean.
The cortege arrived at the cathedral just before 1pm and was greeted by warm applause.
Kendall won the league title with Everton as a player in 1969 as part of the famous 'Holy Trinity' along with Alan Ball and Colin Harvey, but undoubtedly his best achievements came when he returned to Goodison Park as manager in 1981.
Within three years he had won the First Division championship, repeating the feat in 1987, while also winning the FA Cup and European Cup-Winners' Cup in the club's most successful era.
Born in County Durham in May 1946, he began his career with Preston and also played for Birmingham, Stoke and Blackburn while his managerial posts included Blackburn, Athletic Bilbao, Manchester City, Notts County, Sheffield United and Greek sides Xanthi and Ethnikos Piraeus.
