About 10,000 Buddhist monks and 150 nuns have marched in Yangon, Myanmar's largest city, after setting off from one of the country holiest sites.
The monks left the Shwedagon Pagoda calling for national reconciliation and the release of pro-democracy leader Aung San Suu Kyi.
As the procession continued they were joined by 10,000 residents.

For a second day, hundreds of monks also marched to the home of Aung San Suu Kyi. Having met the Nobel-prize winner on Saturday, this time they were turned away by police.
