Thousands Join Havel Procession

Description:Czechs in their thousands silently follow the hearse carrying Vaclav Havel's remains from a modest church towards Prague Castle on Wednesday where the former president will lie in state until Friday's state funeral. Mourners had gathered outside St. Anna church long before daybreak to pay their respects to the man who is considered to have brought them freedom and democracy with his struggle to topple Communism.
