• A car carrying the coffin of Hibs legend Eddie Turnbull drives past Easter Road as fans turn up in numbers to pay their respects

Mourners, including the current Hibs first team, packed Mansfield Traquair in Edinburgh to pay their respects.

Many friends and family wore green for the occasion and the church was lit green.

Mourners, including many of the stars of Scottish football, spoke highly of the former Aberdeen and Hibs manager.

Hearts manager Jim Jeffries said he was sad to hear of Eddie's death.

He said: "He was a fantastic Hibs manager, we all respected him. He was a terrific character.

"Everyone that I know in football said he was a terrific manager and very hard but very fair.

"Great knowledge of the game, just a fantastic manager there's no doubt about that and it's sad to see him pass away."

While former Scotland boss Craig Brown said: "From Alex Ferguson right through to Walter Smith, we all hung on his every word because it was outstanding.

"He was a hard man, yes, but he had a good sense of humour as well, which I always remember.

"A wonderful guy. A guy you could depend upon for advice.

"He was miles ahead of his time, he was the first man to introduce a sweeper."

Following the service Eddie's coffin was taken to Easter Road for fans to pay their respects before being taken to Warriston crematorium.
