Memhis procession honours BB King
A Dixieland jazz band walked ahead of a slow black hearse and a crowd of thousands followed as the city of Memphis said farewell to blues star BB King with a tribute and processional down Beale Street.
The processional began just before 1pm local time, made its way down the street that is synonymous with the blues and paused next to BB King’s Blues Club before turning on to BB King Blues Highway.
