Blackpool fans have been saying an emotional final farewell to legendary player Jimmy Armfield.
Supporters have broken out in a spontaneous round of applause as Jimmy Armfield visited Bloomfield Road for the final time.
The funeral procession made a lap around Bloomfield Road - with current players forming a guard of honour.
The crowd fell silent as the cortege passed the pitch he played on for his entire career of 17 years.
