[olaniyi001]

Czechs and world leaders have been bidding farewell to former Czech President Vaclav Havel at a state funeral in Prague.

The current and former US secretaries of state were joined by leaders from France, Britain and many ex-communist countries in the cathedral of St Vitus.

Outside, after church bells rang out across the capital, thousands thronged to follow the service. Havel, who helped lead the 1989 overthrow of communism, died aged 75.
