Hundreds of people gather to pay their respects and lay flowers at the grave of opposition leader Alexei Navalny on the final day of a presidential election that is guaranteed to cement Vladimir Putin's hardline rule. Before his death in an Arctic prison last month, Navalny urged Russians to protest on March 17. His widow, Yulia Navalnaya, has reiterated his call and said protesters should show up in large numbers at the same time to overwhelm polling stations. IMAGES

Defying warnings and a huge police presence, the protesters in Moscow march through the city centre near the Kremlin chanting "Freedom", just hours after President Vladimir Putin delivered his annual state of the nation address.
