Roger Hunt funeral: Liverpool legends gather for service

Hundreds of Liverpool fans gathered at Anfield as the funeral cortege of former England striker Roger Hunt stopped outside the ground.

Known as 'Sir Roger' to Reds fans, the club legend died at the age of 83 in September.

His hearse paused outside Anfield ahead of a service at Liverpool's Anglican Cathedral which began at 11:00 BST.

Hunt is the club's record league scorer with 244 goals and was part of England's 1966 World Cup-winning side.

Comedian and Liverpool fan Jimmy Tarbuck was one of those paying tribute during the hour-long service.
