Tens of thousands of people have filled Revolution Square in the Cuban capital, Havana, for a rally honouring Cuban revolutionary leader Fidel Castro, the BBC reports.
Proceedings began with the national anthem and speeches were made by visiting dignitaries.
President Raul Castro closed the rally, referring to his brother Fidel as the leader of a revolution “for the humble, and by the humble”.
Fidel Castro, who came to power in 1959, died on Friday, aged 90.
Left-wing Latin American leaders were among those attending the event but other countries sent lower-ranking emissaries.
Opinion on Fidel Castro, who ruled Cuba as a one-party state for almost half a century, remains divided.
Supporters say he returned Cuba to the people and praise him for some of his social programmes, such as public health and education.
But critics call him a dictator, who led a government that did not tolerate opposition and dissent.
