Nelson Mandela
Nelson Mandela, South Africa's anti-apartheid hero and former President, was buried in his childhood village of Qunu on Sunday with military pomp and traditional rituals.
Tribal leaders clad in animal skins joined dignitaries in dark suits at the grave site overlooking the rolling green hills.
As pallbearers walked toward the site helicopters whizzed past dangling the national flag.
Cannons fired a 21-gun salute, its echoes ringing over the quiet village
His burial in the family plot was preceded by a state funeral attended by more than four thousand people.
