Cuba is mourning its revolutionary leader Fidel Castro, whose death was announced late on Friday.

Flags are flying at half-mast as nine days of mourning are observed.

From today, people will be able to pay respects before the ashes of the 90-year-old are taken to Santiago de Cuba where he launched his bid for power.

There were further celebrations in the US city of Miami, however, where many anti-Castro Cuban exiles and their families have settled.

Some world leaders have been paying tribute to the 20th-Century icon. But US President-elect Donald Trump said Castro had been a “brutal dictator”.
