Havel coffin taken to Prague Castle

Thousands of Czech citizens joined Vaclav Havel’s wife Dagmar, family members and friends in a procession today to pay respects to the late Czech president.

The coffin containing Mr Havel’s body was transported from the Prague Crossroads, a former church which he turned into a cultural centre, to Prague Castle, the seat of the presidency, where it will be on display until Friday’s state funeral.
