People are gathering near the Jose Marti Memorial on the north side of Havana’s Plaza de la Revolucion to honor the memory of Cuban revolutionary leader Fidel Castro, who died at the age of 90 on Friday.

Even after stepping down, Fidel was still considered the most significant moral authority in Cuba.
