STATE COLLEGE, Pa. (AP) — Private services for legendary Penn State football coach Joe Paterno have ended, and his casket has been placed in a hearse for a procession that will carry him past Beaver Stadium and thousands of people lining the streets.
Several pallbearers placed the casket inside the hearse, which left the campus spiritual center Wednesday afternoon. Behind it was a blue school bus with Paterno's wife, Sue, sitting in the front seat — her husband's traditional spot.
The route is lined with students, residents and others, many of whom drove from out of town for the procession. It's the second of three days of such events for Paterno, who died Sunday from cancer.
A private funeral will be held later.
