George Best, who passed away last week, is to be honoured in a service at Stormont before he is laid to rest in Belfast. It is expected that Saturday's funeral, at Parliament Buildings, will be the biggest Northern Ireland has seen. The service will be a mixture of a public and private ceremony, with it being relayed to mourning fans by way of public address. Best is considered to be one of the UK's greatest ever players, playing for Manchester United and Northern Ireland. He will be buried next to his mother at Roselawn Cemetery. Source: news.bbc.co.uk
