[Fans Bid Farewell to Late Football Legend Maradona]

Thousands of people bid farewell to the late football great Diego Maradona on Thursday, as his remains were laid in state at the presidential headquarters in Buenos Aires.

Many fans cried, some applauded and others left tokens of gratitude as they filed past Maradona's coffin after waiting patiently in long lines to enter the building, which opened at 6 a.m.local time for a ceremony expected to last 10 hours.

Inside the presidential headquarters, most of the visitors burst into tears as they passed in front of the coffin, which was covered with the Argentine flag and two football jerseys, one belonging to the national team and the other to Boca Juniors, with his emblematic No. 10.

But fans of all stripes showed up, including those of Maradona's traditional rival team, River Plate, and of Italy's Napoli, where the former footballer shone.

"Diego will live forever in the hearts of Argentinians," said many fans. “In fact, much of the world learned about Argentina because of the player's fame.”

Maradona died at his home in the northern outskirts of Buenos Aires on Wednesday at the age of 60, after suffering a heart attack.

Argentina's government declared three days of national mourning.
