Chavez body to be put on permanent display

Nicolas Maduro, Venezuela's acting president, says Hugo Chavez's embalmed body will be permanently displayed in a glass casket so that "his people will always have him." Tens of thousands have already filed past his glass-topped casket at a military academy following a seven-hour procession on Tuesday which took his body from the hospital where he died. Al Jazeera’s Lucia Newman is in Caracas near where Chavez's body is being displayed.
