Family and dignitaries view Nelson Mandela's body

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

The body of Nelson Mandela is due to be taken in procession to the Union Buildings in Pretoria, where it will lie in state for three days.

Each morning his remains will be transported across the city in a glass casket.

People have been encouraged to line the route and form a "guard of honour".

The public, as well as invited heads of state and international guests, will be able to view Mandela's body at the Union Buildings. 

The former South African president died last Thursday, aged 95. 

The country is observing a series of commemorations leading up to the funeral, which is being held in his home village of Qunu(Kunu) in Eastern Cape province on Sunday.

Tens of thousands of South Africans joined scores of world leaders for a national memorial service on Monday.
