Czechs mourn late President Vaclav Havel

Venturing out in freezing cold, thousands of Czechs bid a personal farewell Monday to former President Vaclav Havel, who led the peaceful revolution that toppled the communist regime in 1989. The mourners waited patiently in a long line in front of the Prague Crossroads, where the coffin with Havel’s body went on display Monday. Many were carrying flowers to honor Havel, who died Sunday at age 75.
