An extraordinary family feud surrounding Pele was ended just days before his death when two of his grandchildren - who he had always denied were his - were allowed to visit his bedside.
Pele had a secret relationship with their granny and when she gave birth to her daughter the Brazilian icon denied paternity. But DNA tests and a court ruling proved he was the father.
In a poignant family gesture the two grandchildren were allowed to see him properly for the first time just 48 hours before he died. He will be buried this week.
