The funeral for West Ham's late joint-chairman David Gold took place this afternoon following his death last month.

Gold passed at the age of 86 and his emotional send-off today will include stops at West Ham's old and current homes, both the London Stadium and at Upton Park.

Tributes for the lifelong Hammers fan have flooded in across recent weeks, with a particularly moving tribute being paid during West Ham's clash with Everton two weeks ago, prior to the funeral commencing today.

The funeral cortege departed West Ham's current home, the London Stadium, at 12.
