Hundreds of people queue under the watchful eye of the police to pay their respects to the late Russian opposition leader Alexei Navalny outside the Moscow church where his funeral is being held. The ceremony comes two weeks after Navalny died in an Arctic prison. His supporters accuse Russian President Vladimir Putin of murdering his top critic, whilst the Kremlin denies involvement in his death. IMAGES

The polling station is where opposition leader Alexei Navalny was registered. IMAGES
