Three days of memorial ceremonies for Justice Ruth Bader Ginsburg began on Wednesday at the Supreme Court, where her flag-draped coffin was carried past clerks who worked for her during her 27-year career. She was a pivotal figure in US law for women’s rights.
On Friday, Ginsburg will lie in state in the US Capitol - the first woman to do so.
President Donald Trump will visit the Court on Thursday to pay his respects to her. He says he will announce Ginsburg’s replacement on Saturday – a move the Democrats have strongly condemned.
