Ex-Japan Prime Minister Shinzo Abe's funeral sees crowds in Tokyo streets

Huge crowds lined the streets of Tokyo to pay their last respects to ex-Japan Prime Minister Shinzo Abe, who was assassinated last week.

The 67-year-old was shot dead on Friday while speaking at a campaign event in the southern city of Nara.

On Tuesday, a hearse carried Abe's body through the capital and past landmarks to the funeral hall where he was then cremated.

A private funeral had been held earlier at the Zojoji temple.
