Louisville (Kentucky): A mass funeral procession for Muhammad Ali yesterday in his hometown Louisville, with a hearse carrying the boxing legend’s remains heading into the streets where thousands gathered to say goodbye. Spectators carried signs and flowers, and some even chanted the name of the three-time heavyweight world champion, who died last week at the age of 74 after a long battle with Parkinson's disease.
