Football fans pay tribute to former boss Graham Taylor

Watford fans paid tribute to former manager Graham Taylor as hundreds lined the streets outside his funeral on Wednesday.

"He's an absolute legend for the club, for the town, for Watford. I just can't say no more," said Gary Armstrong, who had arrived early outside St Mary's Church in the town.

Jenny Scott, who has lived in Watford all her life, added: "He put Watford on the map and the town became a nicer, safer, friendlier sort of place. It seemed to rub off.

"He was known as Mr Watford. Yes, he moved away. But he's come back to be laid to rest and I think the town appreciates that."
