Thousands lined the streets of Wolverhampton to bid their final farewells to Sir Jack Hayward. He passed away three weeks ago while in Florida, aged 91.
He was a multi-millionaire who gave generously to many charities and causes.
But in the Midlands he's remembered for ploughing more than £70million of his own money into Wolverhampton Wanderers - saving it from extinction and taking it back to the top flight of English football.
Steve Clamp reports on today's farewell.
