Egypt to bury former president Mubarak in military funeral

Supporters of former Egyptian President Hosni Mubarak hold his photos outside the main gate of Field Marshal Mohammed Hussein Tantawi Mosque, where his funeral will be held, east of Cairo, Egypt.

Egypt will on Wednesday bury its former president Hosni Mubarak, who died at the age of 91, in a military funeral in Cairo.

Mubarak ruled Egypt for 30 years until he was forced out of office by protests in 2011. He spent many of the subsequent years in jail and military hospitals before being freed in 2017.
