Among the 1,000 in attendance for the ceremony were Sir Alex, who was joined by United legends of the past including Peter Schmeichel, Paul Scholes, Roy Keane and Bryan Robson as well as representatives of the club's current squad led by Harry Maguire and Luke Shaw.

WHAT HAPPENED?

Representatives from the wider football world were also present to pay tribute to Sir Bobby, who died at the last month at the age of 86. England manager Gareth Southgate, Liverpool great Alan Kennedy and Real Madrid's Emilio Butragueño were among those also in attendance.

THE BIGGER PICTURE

"It was very sombre", Sir Alex Ferguson told Sky Sports after the service. "There was a wonderful tribute from his grandson. I though it was fantastic. It's not easy to go up there and speak. But he was a fantastic man. I'm at United because of Bobby Charlton, no question about that. From the day I came he supported me 100% all the way. He was totally behind me in everything we tried to do."<blockquote class="twitter-tweet">Footballing legends and royalty remember Sir Bobby Charlton at the former Man Utd player's funeral ❤️ <a href="https://t.co/gzl10AvXxY">pic.twitter.com/gzl10AvXxY</a>— Football on TNT Sports (@footballontnt) <a href="https://twitter.com/footballontnt/status/1724090609156136991?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw">November 13, 2023</a></blockquote>
