Caracas, Mar 7 (EFE).- Thousands of Venezuelans took to the streets of Caracas to bid farewell to President Hugo Chavez, tearfully paying tribute to a leader many consider irreplaceable and vowing to continue his legacy.

Escorted by senior officials and the Presidential Guard of Honor, the car carrying Chavez's flag-draped coffin rode through the capital on Wednesday as a red tide of mourners blew kisses and pledged their eternal love and loyalty to his leftist Bolivarian social movement.
