SINGAPORE - It wasn't just the media who were out on the streets photographing a historical moment on Sunday afternoon.

Many members of the public also documented the emotional journey as Mr Lee Kuan Yew's cortege made its way from the Parliament House to the University Cultural Centre.

The Straits Times received some 100 crowd-sourced photos via a photo-submission site, which asked readers to share what they saw during the procession.

The photos were tagged by location and can be seen viewed in ST's interactive map of the funeral procession. Most of the photos appeared to come from the Civic District and around the Parliament House, where Mr Lee had been lying in state for the past few days.

Readers including Mr Klaus Tan and Mr Charles Chua captured scenes on the ground as Singaporeans came out in force to send Mr Lee off despite heavy showers.

Soldiers saluting, displays of Singapore flags and the faces of emotional mourners are depicted in their photos.

There were even submissions from Australia, Hong Kong and Switzerland.

Here are some of the best we received so far:
