1,000 visitors to Best grave every day

MORE THAN 1,000 people a day are visiting George Best’s grave.

As weeks pass since his funeral the number paying homage at the final resting place of the footballing genius shows no sign of abating.

On the first day after the funeral, Roselawn Cemetery in the hills above the East Belfast streets where Best grew up saw 15,000 file past the grave and the host of floral tributes laid out as a shrine among the nearby trees.
