Boxing legend Muhammad Ali has been laid to rest in his hometown in the US state of Kentucky, following a funeral procession attended by tens of thousands of fans.
Ali's private burial ceremony on Friday at Louisville's Cave Hill Cemetery, was followed by a memorial, attended by world leaders including former US president Bill Clinton.
As the interfaith service got under way, the crowd of up to 15,000 burst into applause and chanted, "Ali! Ali!" when a Muslim religious leader welcomed the audience to "the home of the people's champ".
In his tribute, Clinton said Ali "is a truly free man of faith".
Lonnie Ali, widow of the boxing legend, said her husband was "proof that adversity can make you stronger", growing up in a segregated country.
Kevin Cosby, pastor of a Louisville church, said Ali "dared to love America's most unloved race", referring to African-Americans.
Earlier, people lining the streets threw flowers, and shouted, "Ali! Ali!", as the hearse carrying his body pulled out of the funeral home. Others carried banners and photos of Ali.
The AP news agency reported that at least 100,000 people lined up the streets to say their final goodbye.
