Mourners held aloft huge banners outside Pittodrie as the funeral procession for a Dons legend made its way past the ground today.
Chic McLelland was a player for Aberdeen FC before honing the skills of generations of youngsters as a coach.
He died following a long battle with dementia, and later Covid, last month at the age of 67.
Friends, former players and fans braved the blustery conditions to pay their respects as the right-back was led around the ground one last time today.
