Santos FC said some 250,000 people had attended his 24-hour wake in the Vila Belmiro stadium, where mourners continued arriving straight through the night.
That was followed by a massive funeral procession, as Pele's casket -- draped in the black-and-white flag of Santos and the green-and-yellow one of Brazil -- was placed atop a firetruck for a final parade through the city, including an emotional stop in front of the house where his 100-year-old mother still lives.
