The body of Nelson Mandela has arrived at the main government building in South Africa's capital, Pretoria, where it will lie in state for three days.

纳尔逊·曼德拉的遗体已被运往首都比勒陀利亚政府大楼，他将在那里供公众吊唁三天。

The body of Nelson Mandela arrived at Pretoria's Union Buildings early on Wednesday

His remains¹ were taken in procession from a hospital mortuary（太平间） to the Union Buildings.

Members of the public lined the route to form a "guard of honour".

The public, invited heads of state and international guests will be able to view the body of the former president who died last Thursday, aged² 95.

He will be buried in his home village of Qunu in Eastern Cape³ province on Sunday.

Tens of thousands of South Africans joined scores of world leaders for a national memorial service on Tuesday as part of a series of commemorations.

Quick convoy⁴

The procession left the city's 1 Military Hospital shortly after 07:00 (05:00 GMT) on Wednesday. The coffin⁵ could be seen inside a black hearse, draped in a South African flag.

It travelled along Kgosi Mampuru Street and Madiba Street on the way to the Union Buildings.

The hearse（灵车） was in a long convoy with military outriders and military ambulances.

The convoy sped quickly through the streets, with some people running alongside⁶ the military guard, the BBC's Joseph Winter in Pretoria says.
