A Dixieland jazz band walked ahead of a slow black hearse as crowds made their way down Beale Street in Memphis, Tennessee, in memory of the guitarist and singer (bottom left). The street is where a young Riley B. King was nicknamed the Beale Street Blues Boy - later shortened to B.B. - and where King rose to fame. The Memphis-based Mighty Souls Brass Band played 'When the Saints Go Marching In.' Behind them and just ahead of the hearse, drummer Rodd Bland - son of the late blues singer Bobby 'Blue' Bland - carried one of King's signature 'Lucille' guitars (main picture).
