Mourners are gathering in Moscow for the funeral of Russian opposition leader Boris Nemtsov, who was shot dead four days ago.
Long queues are forming outside the Sakharov Center in central Moscow where Mr Nemtsov's body is lying in state ahead of a funeral later this afternoon.
The former deputy prime minister and long-time critic of Russian president Vladimir Putin was gunned down on a bridge near the Kremlin while walking with his girlfriend late on Friday.
No suspects have been arrested.
Sky News' Moscow Correspondent Katie Stallard, who is at the Sakharav Centre, said people have been queuing since the early hours of the morning to pay their respects to Mr Nemtsov.
Many are carrying carnations, the traditional flower of mourning in Russia.
Leading Russian opposition figures have branded Mr Nemtsov's murder a "contract killing".
According to colleagues, at the time of his death he was working on a report which apparently included concrete evidence that Russia was directly involved in the separatist movement which erupted in Ukraine last year.
The Kremlin has pledged to hold a full investigation into what Russian foreign minister Sergei Lavrov described as a "heinous crime".
