As Cuba maintains nine days of mourning following the death of Fidel Castro, thousands have been lining up on Havana’s historic Plaza de la Revolucion to pay their respects to the deceased revolutionary leader.
From the tree-lined edge of a large road, thousands of Cubans stood along avenues leading to the capital's famed Plaza de la Revolucion to pay tribute toFidel Castro, the deceased revolutionary leader who ruled the country with an iron fist for several decades.
On the side of the road, elderly citizens bearing medals on their chests waited under a sign that carried the words "the revolution is invincible", alongside a picture of child ballerinas.
Adult Cubans seemed to have gathered among friends for the occasion – there were with no children in sight.
A group of middle-aged women tried to get through a side entrance on another street – but a police guard turned them away and, ignoring loud protests, directed them back to the street where thousands of people waited in a wide queue.
