Mourners are gathering in Moscow for the funeral of Russian opposition leader Boris Nemtsov, who was shot dead four days ago.
Thousands of people filed past Mr Nemtsov's body as it lay in state in the Sakharov Centre in central Moscow 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 following the murder, considered the most shocking political assassination of Mr Putin's rule.
Sky News' Moscow Correspondent Katie Stallard, who was at the Sakharov Centre, said people had queued since the early hours of the morning to pay their respects to Mr Nemtsov, 55.
Many were carrying carnations, the traditional flower of mourning in Russia.
Leading Russian opposition figures have suggested the murder was politically motivated, although authorities say it could have been a provocation aimed at tarnishing Mr Putin's image.
The chief witness to the killing, Mr Nemtsov's Ukrainian girlfriend Anna Duritskaya, who has now left Russia after claiming she was barred from leaving by investigators, has said she did not catch sight of the killers.
The Kremlin has pledged to hold a full investigation into what Russian foreign minister Sergey Lavrov has described as a "heinous crime".
Although one mourner told Sky's Katie Stallard she did not feel confident the killers would be brought to justice.
