Today (Monday 24 February) would have been Denis Law’s 85th birthday. The Manchester United and Scotland icon sadly passed away in January and was laid to rest earlier this month.

Mourners warmly applauded as Denis Law's coffin was taken out of the cathedral. The song Angel by Rod Stewart, which Law and the Scotland World Cup squad of 1974 recorded a version of with the rock singer, was also played, as the service reaches its final stages.

Stars and supporters flocked to Manchester Cathedral to say a final goodbye to the late Denis Law but Sir Rod Stewart's tribute best summed up his legacy.
