Nelson Mandela’s Body Arrives Home
Nelson Mandela’s coffin has arrived in his ancestral home in Qunu in the Eastern Cape region of South Africa, the final leg of its journey.
Large numbers of people lined the roads in the rural region to pay their respects as the cortege passed by.
A state funeral will be held on Sunday for Mr Mandela, who died on 5 December.
At least 100,000 people saw the former South African president’s body lying in state in Pretoria over the last three days, but some had to be turned away.
