STORYLINE:
Up to 200,000 Pakistanis gathered at the mausoleum of former Prime Minister Benazir Bhutto on Saturday, on the first anniversary of her assassination, some of them walking hundreds of miles (kilometres) to get there.
Dozens of people kissed Bhutto's grave, which was strewn with flowers.
Bhutto was killed in a gun and suicide bomb attack as she was leaving a rally in the garrison town of Rawalpindi, just outside the capital of Islamabad on December 27, 2007.
She was campaigning to return her Pakistan People's Party to power in parliamentary elections, a scenario supported by the
United States, which admired her secular credentials.
Her assassination shocked the world, fanning revulsion at rising militant violence in Pakistan as well as conspiracy theories that the country's powerful spy agencies were involved.
Her widower, Asif Ali Zardari, took over Bhutto's party after her death and was elected president in September (2008), facing a crushing economic crisis and soaring violence by militants also blamed for attacks on US and NATO forces in Afghanistan.
He was to speak to mourners later on Saturday.
