Thousands of people in Peru have been paying their respects to the late President, Alberto Fujimori, who died at the age of 86 after serving prison time for corruption and human rights abuses.
Long queues formed outside the Culture Ministry in Lima where Fujimori’s body is lying in state.
Among the first to arrive was incumbent President Dina Boluarte who has declared three days of national mourning.
Critics say the government has gone too far by honouring a man who was convicted of serious crimes during the fight against Shining Path rebels in the 1990s.
