Thousands of fans are expected to pay their respects at the funeral of former England manager Graham Taylor.

Supporters have begun gathering in Watford, home of the club he most famously led, ahead of a service later.

Taylor, who died on 12 January aged 72 of a suspected heart attack, took the club to the 1984 FA Cup final.

Up to 5,000 supporters are expected to gather, while over 400 people, including family, friends, and former players will attend the service inside.

The ceremony at St Mary's church will be followed by a private family committal later in the day.
