Thousands of people have lined the streets of Santiago de Cuba as Fidel Castro's ashes arrived at the Santa Ifigenia cemetery, following nine days of official mourning.
A 21-gun salute was first sounded in the capital, Havana, as Castro's ashes were taken to the cemetery in eastern Cuba where they will be interred.
In Santiago, thousands lined the short route from the Plaza of the Revolution to the Santa Ifigenia cemetery waving Cuban flags, singing Cuba's National Anthem and shouting "Viva Fidel!"
The ceremony was not being broadcast live on television.
