There were vigils and protests across European capitals - in memory of the charismatic Russian opposition figure - Alexei Navalny who died in a Siberian prison. People inside Russia also marked the passing of Alexei Navalny - many laying flowers - which in some places became demonstrations. One Russian who attended a vigil told Newshour's Rebecca Kesby how he first heard the news of Navalny's death.
