Thousands of people across Vietnam paid their final respects to Communist Party General Secretary Nguyen Phu Trong, the most powerful leader the country has seen in decades, ahead of his funeral ceremony and burial.
The 80-year-old, who died in hospital in the capital Hanoi last week, led the party since 2011 and oversaw a high-profile anticorruption drive that swept through the party, police, armed forces and business.
