The funeral cortege will pass Old Trafford on its way to the cathedral, and fans and members of the public are invited to pay their respects along the route.

Those coming to Old Trafford are advised to use the E2 car park and arrive at the East Stand forecourt from 13:00, with the funeral procession expected to pass in front of the Trinity Statue at 13:30.

The funeral cortege will then travel to Manchester Cathedral for the service, which will begin at 14:00.

It is expected that up to 1,000 guests will attend the cathedral to pay their respects to Sir Bobby and celebrate his incredible life as a husband, father, grandfather and, of course, as one of the finest footballers this country has ever produced.
