A military funeral is held for former Egyptian president Hosni Mubarak in the country's capital city, Cairo. The 91-year-old died in hospital after undergoing treatment in an intensive care unit following surgery, according to Egypt's state television on Tuesday.

Mubarak served as Egyptian president for nearly 30 years until the military announced his resignation as the result of nationwide protests in 2011. He was then jailed for years on charges of corruption and killing protesters but was freed by the country's top court in 2017.
