Picture gallery: Emperor Haile Selassie's funeral


In a ceremony packed with tradition, colour and emotion, Haile Selassie's coffin was carried to a tomb in the city's Orthodox Cathedral, where the late emperor will now lie beside his wife. The remains of the late Ethiopian ruler, who is believed to have been murdered by followers of his Marxist successor Colonel Mengistu, were discovered nearly 10 years ago under a palace toilet.
