Mourners are filing past the coffin of Archbishop Desmond Tutu, as his body lies in state at St George’s Cathedral in Cape Town, South Africa. Tutu, a Nobel Peace Prize winner who helped end apartheid in South Africa, died on Sunday aged 90. His official state funeral will be held on 1 January after the lying-in-state period, allowing mourners to file past his body and say their final goodbyes. Large crowds are expected to visit the cathedral over the next two days. The lying in state period had to be extended to two days, “for fear there might be a stampede”, a local priest told AFP news agency.Priests burnt incense as Tutu’s simple wooden coffin was carried into the cathedral.(BBC)…[+]
