- FIGHT legends Barry McGuigan and Jim Watt were among those in attendance at St Giles Cathedral today to say their final farewells to Ken Buchanan.
The iconic Scottish boxer passed away earlier this month at the age of 77.
The Edinburgh fighter achieved legendary status - becoming UNDISPUTED lightweight champion of the world in 1970.
And mourners gathered to show their last respects - including his one-time rival Watt.
Also in attendance was former world featherweight champion McGuigan, who remembered SPARRING with him.
Other respected figures from the boxing world including Alex Arthur, Tommy Gilmour and veteran journalists such as Jim Black and Steve Bunce also took their place at the memorial service.
