Watch live as Harry Reid lies in state in the Capitol rotunda

Members of Congress will honour the life of Harry Reid at a ceremony on Wednesday as he lies in state in the Capitol rotunda.

The former US Senate Majority Leader died last month aged 82, following a four-year battle with pancreatic cancer.

His passing sparked an outpouring of tributes from Democrats, with President Joe Biden suggesting he always "got things done" during his 34-year career in Washington.
