The funeral for today proved to be Vladimir 's worst nightmare as thousands of Russian mourners gathered in to say their final farewell.Despite a heavy police presence and a warning against dissent from the Kremlin, the huge crowds chanted Navalny's name as his coffin was carried into the Russian Orthodox church on the outskirts of Moscow at around 11am GMT.Many carried flowers and shouted support for the 47-year-old anti-corruption campaigner who galvanised mass protests against Putin - and who died on February 16 behind bars in the Arctic 'Polar Wolf' penal colony, 1,200 miles from Moscow.
