Grief-stricken family pay homage to Best

GRIEVING but dignified, the family of George Best faced the world’s media only moments after he died.

Walking out into the crisp, chilly air, they faced the sight of almost 100 photographers, journalists and film crew crammed into the forecourt of the Cromwell Hospital in west London.

Many members of the press had camped out overnight, following Best’s progress minute by minute.
