(AP) ? A candlelight vigil is under way outside Penn State's administration building to honor former football coach Joe Paterno.

Thousands of people, mostly students, gathered outside Old Main on Sunday night, several hours after Paterno died of lung cancer at a hospital.

The event began with a performance by the Penn State Blue Band.

Those speaking include football players and others whose lives were touched by Paterno.

It's the first of what will be many events to honor the longtime coach.

School officials say they are working on plans to commemorate his life and career.
