Hundreds of people have lined the streets for the funeral of 'Salford Legend' and gangland 'Mr Big' Paul Massey.

Paul Massey, 55, was shot dead at his home last month by a masked gunman over his alleged involvement in organised crime.

His coffin was carried in a horse-drawn carriage to St Paul’s CE Church off Churchill Way near the estate where he grew up.

Members of the public applauded as the cortege, which included a fleet of limousines carrying family and friends.
