- Story Text: Drone shots captured mourners lined up to see Pele's body in an open casket inside Vila Belmiro stadium, home of the Santos Football Club, on Monday (January 2).
Pele died on Thursday (December 29) at the age of 82 after battling colon cancer.
The Brazilian coastal city of Santos, which the sporting giant turned into a byword for soccer brilliance during a glittering club career, is set to bid goodbye to its hero with a 24-hour wake.
Pele's body arrived under fireworks in Santos - a city of about 430,000 people - in the early hours of Monday from Sao Paulo's Albert Einstein Hospital.
On Tuesday (January 3), a procession carrying his coffin will pass through the streets of Santos, ending at the Ecumenical Memorial Necropolis cemetery, where he will be buried in a private ceremony.
