President Luiz Inacio Lula da Silva led the tributes on Tuesday (January 3), as Brazil said its final farewell to football legend Pelé, widely regarded as the greatest player of all time.

Lula, who took office on Sunday in a ceremony that started with a minute's silence for Pelé, traveled to the southeastern city of Santos to pay his respects to family and friends of Pelé.

Visibly moved, Lula and First Lady Rosangela "Janja" da Silva paused before Pelé's coffin and embraced his widow and other family members inside the Vila Belmiro stadium, home to Pelé's longtime club, Santos FC.
