Hundreds of people line the streets to pay tribute as a hearse carrying the coffin of nationalist figure Yvan Colonna arrives Ajaccio, the capital of the French Mediterranean island of Corsica. Colonna was attacked on March 2 by a fellow inmate at a prison in southern France where he was being held over the 1998 assassination of a senior French government official.
