Thousands of Palestinians have gathered in Ramallah to bid farewell to their most famous poet.
Mahmoud Darwish died at the age of 67 last week following heart surgery in a United States hospital. He is to be laid to rest on a hill overlooking the West Bank and nearby Jerusalem, according with his wishes. Darwish was cherished among the Arab world for his poetry and literature, and in 1988 wrote the Palestinian declaration of Independence.
