Almost a week after his death, the line to see the body of former president Hugo Chavez in Caracas is still miles long and consists of thousands of people. See more of my pictures below.

Thanks for looking.

Kids hold posters of Hugo Chavez as a portrait of Simon Bolivar looks on from behind. Chavez had instituted a “Bolivarian revolution” based on the principles of the revered Venezuelan historical figure.

 

Government workers, clad in Chavez red and pictured at the Monumento a Los Precursores, head in for duty to clean up the mess made by people waiting in line to see Chavez.
