Thousands of Ukraine's anti-government protesters march towards President Yanukovich's residence outside Kiev, and took part in a symbolic funeral of the president.
Protesters carried a coffin along the street leading to Yanukovich's residence but were stopped by riot police blocking the road.
Opposition leader Vitaly Klitschko and Oleh Tyahnibok, who earlier addressed tens of thousands of people gathered on Kiev's Independence square, joined protesters near presidential residence.
"We are confident that we have to change the system and we need to start from the election of the president. Early elections, yes?" asked Vitaly Klitschko addressing the rally, and heard back a loud "yes".
