Pele died on December 29 at the age of 82 after suffering from colon cancer.
The Brazilian coastal city of Santos, which the sporting giant turned into a byword for soccer brilliance during a glittering club career, is set to bid goodbye to its hero with a 24-hour wake.
On Tuesday (January 3), a procession carrying his coffin will pass through the streets of Santos, ending at the Ecumenical Memorial Necropolis cemetery, where he will be buried in a private ceremony.
