Argentines mourn former President Nestor Kirchner
Thousands have converged on Argentina's government palace to pay their respects to ex-President Nestor Kirchner, who died on Wednesday at 60.
His body is lying in state to allow people to file past in honour of the man who was president from 2003 to 2007.
His wife Cristina Fernandez and their children have been attending the wake.
Mr Kirchner, succeeded by his wife as president, was expected to run in the 2011 election. Daniel Schweimler reports.
