PHOTOS: Wake Begins For Brazilian Football Legend Pele

It was an emotional day in Brazil as fans began paying their final respects Monday to football legend Pele with a 24-hour wake at the stadium where he first took the world’s breath away with his exploits.

Hundreds of fans trooped in into the Vila Belmiro, home to Pele’s long-time club, Santos, where the coffin bearing the remains of “O Rei” (The King) was displayed in the center of the field, before a funeral procession and private burial scheduled for Tuesday.
