Thousands have gathered to bid a final farewell to legendary boxer Muhammad Ali in 19-mile-long funeral procession and service in Kentucky town. Actor Will Smith and ex-boxers Mike Tyson and Lennox Lewis are among the pallbearers who placed Ali's coffin in the black hearse for the procession. 

The procession started at his boyhood home and then traveled along the boulevard that bears his name and the museum that stands as a lasting tribute to his boxing triumphs and his humanitarian causes outside the ring.

According to reports, mourners standing alongside the procession route could be heard chanting 'Ali' or 'The champ is here' while waving and clapping at the vehicle carrying his body.
