The funeral of former Manchester City captain Mike Doyle takes place today.

The service at Ashton Parish Church in Ashton-under-Lyne will begin at 1.00pm, with the funeral cortege expected to visit the City of Manchester Stadium at around 12 midday.

Supporters are invited to pay their respects to the Blues' most decorated player as the cortege drives around the City of Manchester Stadium before continuing to Ashton.
