Notts County fans have paid tribute to a man who was known as the voice of their club, with one describing his contribution as 'immortal'.
Colin Slater MBE died peacefully on January 10, after his health was said to have deteriorated, with loved ones by his side.
'Mr Notts County' was remembered in a service at St Mary's Church on High Pavement, Nottingham on Monday (January 31) afternoon.
The funeral was attended by family, close friends and those involved with Notts County Football Club and people and fans who successfully applied..
The procession visited Meadow Lane where a number of fans were in attendance to pay tributes and their respects to the well-loved broadcaster, as well as the BBC Studios on London Road, before arriving at St Mary's Church.
And fans waiting patiently for the cortege to pass through Meadow Lane shared their memories, respects and tributes to 'Mr Notts County'.
Steve Dring, 57, from Clifton, said: "He is an immortal - I can't remember a time without Colin, I've listened to games for years.
"He's brought us some of the best memories, like the 2-0 win away at Chelsea in 1981 to get promoted to the First Division.
"He treated everyone with such respect."
Ian Brookes, 64, from Eastwood, said: "What a man, and not just because of his work in football, but for everything else he was involved in.
"Not many people can say they've done what he has done, he really is one in a few."
Alan Hicking, 68, from Carlton, who has supported the Magpies for 60 years, said: "He was such a good natured person, who did loads for the community and he helped to save the club when it was in trouble.
"He'd take time to talk to you, and 'Mr Notts County' will be sadly missed."
Chris Pacey, 51, from Highbury Vale, said: "I listened to him on the radio, and I remember when he would get some football teams mixed up, such as calling them Bury when we were playing Rochdale for example.
"His voice was so welcoming."
Mark Anthony Smith, 50, from Clifton, said: "He did a lot for the football club, financially too.
"He will be sadly missed by the supporters here, by staff and people who knew him."
Supporters also waited outside the gates of St Mary's Church to pay their respects to Mr Slater too.
Tributes had previously been paid ahead to Mr Slater ahead of the funeral by those that knew and worked with him at Notts County, and through his life outside of football, where he had done so much more.
