Funeral of George Floyd takes place
Family and friends of George Floyd have said their final goodbyes at a funeral service in Houston in Texas.
His killing, after being restrained by police in Minneapolis, has inspired global anti-racism protests.
At the service, Mr Floyd's niece, Brooke Williams, described her uncle's murder as a hate crime, and demanded laws are changed.
During his eulogy, the Reverend Al Sharpton also attacked the US President for posing with a bible during an anti-racist demonstration in Washington DC.
He says Mr Floyd's legacy will be a global movement.
