Graham Taylor’s funeral: Town says goodbye to a legend

Graham Taylor scaled the heights of the football world as England manager, but it was at Watford where he will be best remembered.

The mourners heading into church wore black.

But it was yellow and red that caught the eye in the crowds lining the streets outside.

The colours of Watford, the club where Graham Taylor had such a huge impact.

People gathered hours ahead of the service near St Mary's Church to pay their respects to the club's greatest ever manager.

Watford, where Graham Taylor's name is engraved on the Town Hall's wall and written large above a stand at the nearby Vicarage Road stadium.
