Mourners gather in Wigan for funeral of rugby legend Sir Billy Boston

Friends, family, and players have gathered in Wigan for the funeral of rugby league icon Sir Billy Boston. A funeral procession traveled through the town to the Brick Community Stadium, where the service is taking place. Boston died last month at age 92. As a player, he became the first individual in the sport's history to receive a knighthood. Attendees were encouraged to wear traditional funeral attire, though many opted to include Wigan Warriors' cherry red colors to honor his career. A private burial is scheduled to follow the service at the stadium.
