East Belfast was my "route" - I've delivered to burren way many's a time.
Also thought the photo on the bbc site of some random bloke and his young son in a suit and black tie was extremely powerful.
Def brought a tear to my eye.

Bestie's home was just off north bank.
Some great tributes on bbc website by the way. Gordon strachan speaks at the end of a clip that starts with steve bruce, and he really hits the nail on the head.

I guess you mean to the tributes/funeral and not the estate !!
Click on the link above and then video on the right hand side: tributes to george best.
The world of football pays tribute has the strachan bit in it.
Also a link to the funeral at the bottom of the video window.
Bits with his son are very powerful.
