The sound of gunfire interrupted the funeral of the late Haitian President, Jovenel Moïse, who was shot dead two weeks ago.
The US and other delegations left early after shooting rang out as the event got under way on Friday.
Protesters blamed some of those at the service for the leader's death.
The president's coffin was carried by men in military uniform.
It was placed on a stage in a Haitian flag, surrounded by white flowers.
Protesters clashed with police outside the venue and witnesses smelt tear gas at the ceremony, but it seems nobody was hurt.
Haitian police accuse a group made up of 26 Colombians and two Haitian Americans of carrying out the killing.
At least 20 were detained, while three were killed by police and five are still on the run.
