Flags flew at half staff as the body of former Czech president Vaclav Havel was taken to Prague Castle, where he will lie in state ahead of his funeral on Friday. Thousands of people lined the streets of old town Prague as the late president's body was transported to the castle. Many people applauded as the hearse made its way through the mourners, many dressed in black. The procession marks the start of a three day period of mourning.
Leaders from around the world will gather to honor the dissident playwright and former president. U.S. Secretary of State Hillary Clinton and her husband, former President Bill Clinton, German Chancellor Angela Merkel, Israeli President Shimon Peres, and French President Nicolas Sarkozy are among the leaders expected to attend Mr. Havel's funeral on Friday.

Vaclav Havel was the president of Czechoslovakia from 1989 to 1992 , and the Czech Republic from 1993 to 2003.前捷克总统哈维尔的遗体被送往布拉格城堡,在星期五葬礼前被安放在那里,同时,捷克降半旗致哀。这位已故总统的遗体被送往城堡途中,成千上万的民众在布拉格老城区的街道两旁送行。许多人在灵车经过的时候鼓掌致敬,许多人身着黑色衣服。这个送葬仪式标志着为期3天的悼念活动开始。
