The cortege for the Scottish boxer left Leith and passed his statue before heading to St Giles.
The Scottish boxing legend, who became the undisputed world lightweight champion in 1971, died earlier this month, aged 77. Born in Edinburgh in 1945 and growing up in a council house in Portobello, Ken took up boxing at the age of eight, at Edinburgh's Sparta Club. He vowed to become world champion at the age of eight after watching a film about Joe Louis. He had major amateur success before turning professional in 1965.
Buchanan is often named in the lists of the world’s greatest boxers of all time.
