Football fans queued overnight to be the very first to file past the coffin of Pele later today.
Mirror Online spoke to the first five supporters in line who arrived outside the Santos football stadium 14 HOURS before gates opened. Rubbish collector Saulo Duarte was at the front of the queue.
Saulo, 36, had made the two hour journey from Sao Paulo by bus to pay his respects. He said: “Pele was Brazil’s greatest player and I wanted to be here to pay tribute to him. I never saw him play but my grandad did and it’s the right thing to do.”
