Tens of thousands of Russians have marked 90 years since the murder of the former royal family with a religious procession in the city where they were killed.

Pilgrims from across the country gathered in the Ural Mountains city of Yekaterinburg this week to commemorate Tsar Nicholas II and his wife and children.

On Thursday many made their way from a church at the site where the family was killed by a Bolshevik firing squad in 1918 to the wooded area where their bodies were deposited.
