The remains of King Richard III are being paraded through Leicestershire, more than 500 years after his death in battle.
A number of services and a procession are under way ahead of the reinterment at Leicester Cathedral on Thursday.
The cortege, which started at Leicester University, will transport the former monarch in a specially designed coffin.
It will visit key locations associated with the King's last few days before his death at the Battle of Bosworth in 1485.
Public ceremonies and services will be held in Dadlington, Sutton Cheney, Bosworth Battlefield and Market Bosworth before returning to Leicester.
More than 600 people gathered along the university exit, with some bearing flags depicting Richard's royal standard.
As the cortege made its way through country lanes nearing the field of Bosworth, people stopped by the roadside to take pictures.
The remains will later arrive back in Leicester at its old medieval boundary of Bow Bridge, before being taken around the city centre and onto the cathedral on top of a horse-drawn carriage.
The man who designed the coffin is a descendant of Richard III who helped identify his remains through DNA testing.
