Rosa Parks’ body has been returned to the city she called home, with thousands waiting in a line more to pay their final respects to the US civil rights leader.

Parks was 92 when she died on October 24 in Detroit. She lay in honour in Montgomery, Alabama, and in Washington before her body was returned last night to the city where she had lived since 1957.
