MOURNERS dressed in Saints shirts will line the streets around Southampton 's Prince of Wales pub this morning as its popular former landlord sets off on his final journey .
Joe Smith , who ran the pub for ten years following his stints at two other popular city boozers , will set off for his funeral from Northam Road at 10.30am today .

It was always so full of people and they were so happy to see us .
We were always running around there .
I used to say @ @ @ @ @ @ @ be just like her running the pub and now it 's actually happened . ''

`` That 's how it became my job , '' she says .
`` After dealing with everything I thought , I 'd better go and open the pub .
