Some of the moments from the funeral procession of boxer Muhammad Ali.
The love that the world has for Muhammad Ali is unmatched.
In the words of the actor Will Smith, the "outpouring of love" that the procession of The Greatest of all time, Muhammad Ali, received as it drove down his hometown Louisville, was a sight to behold. Smith was one of the pallbearers, along with former heavyweight boxers Mike Tyson and Lennox Lewis.
The KFC-YUM Sports arena saw an unlikely mix of world champions, actors, celebrities and people from around the world, who grieved Ali's demise.
It's not just one less former heavyweight champion, but one less voice who was unafraid to speak his mind. The number of people that turned up to pay their respects was an unspoken eulogy in itself.
