Thousands of fans bids a final farewell to legendary boxer
Muhammad Ali in a miles-long funeral procession and service in his hometown
where his coffin is being taken around his old neighborhood
in a hearse.
Actor Will Smith and boxer Mike Tyson are among the
pallbearers who placed Ali’s coffin in the black hearse for the procession that
will start at his boyhood home where he shadowboxed and dreamed of greatness.
Mourners stands alongside the procession route chanting ‘Ali’ and waving and clapping at the
vehicle carrying his body.
This is the second day of memorial ceremonies for Ali, who
died last Friday age 74, as yesterday more than 14,000 mourners joined the
family for the traditional Muslim prayer service at Kentucky’s Freedom Hall to
celebrate the sporting legend’s extraordinary life.
