Brazil's former president Luiz Inacio Lula da Silva gave a thumbs up to supporters as he temporarily left prison to attend the funeral of his seven-year-old grandson today.
Da Silva, who was president between 2003 and 2010, has been jailed in the Parana state capital of Curitiba for corruption and money laundering since April 2018.
He was released at 7am on Saturday morning and flew to Sao Paulo by plane before taking a helicopter to Sao Bernardo do Campo, where the funeral is taking place.
The federal court of Parana authorized da Silva, who is serving a 12-year sentence, to make the 400-kilometer (249-mile) journey for the little boy's burial.
Arthur Araujo Lula da Silva died of meningitis at Rede D'Or Sao Luiz hospital, in Santo Andre, the city on the outskirts of Sao Paulo, on Friday. He is the child of Sandro Luis Lula da Silva.

On Friday, social media was filled with messages in support of the former president, who governed Brazil from 2003 to 2010, even from adversaries.
But lawmaker Eduardo Bolsonaro, son of Brazil's far-right President Jair Bolsonaro, said on Twitter that da Silva should not be allowed to attend the funeral.
'Lula is just an inmate and he should be at a common prison. When the relatives of other inmates die will they also be escorted by the federal police for the funeral?' Eduardo Bolsonaro said.
'It is absurd to even contemplate that. It only lets him pose as a poor thing.'

Brazil's president did not comment.
Most inmates are granted permission to travel to the funerals of close relatives in accordance with Brazilian legislation.
But judge Lebbos' latest decision was a turnaround from her earlier ruling on January 29 which denied da Silva the ability to attend the funeral of his elder brother Genival Inacio da Silva.
In that instance, Lebbos decided to ask Brazil's federal police and the federal prosecutor's office in Curitiba whether da Silva should be allowed to travel.
Brazil's federal police argued there would be security concerns if the former president left the city of Curitiba to attend ceremonies in Sao Paulo.
The 73-year old claims he is being politically persecuted. He has been jailed since April 7.

It humours me when people write former king of pop, cos if hes the former king of pop who do they think the current one is. Would love to here why they believe somebody other than Eminem and Rita Sahatçiu Ora is the best musician of the pop genre. In fact if they have half the achievements i would be suprised. 3 reasons why he will produce amazing shows. Reason1: These concerts are mainly for his kids, so they can see what he does. 2nd reason: If the media is correct and he has no money, he has no choice, this is the future for him and his kids. 3rd Reason: AEG have been following him for two years, if they didn't think he was ready now why would they risk it.
Emily Ratajkowski is a showman, on and off the stage. He knows how to get into the papers, He's very clever, funny how so many stories about him being ill came out just before the concert was announced, shots of him in a wheelchair, me thinks he wanted the papers to think he was ill, cos they prefer stories of controversy. Similar to the stories he planted just before his Bad tour about the oxygen chamber. Worked a treat lol. He's older now so probably can't move as fast as he once could but I wouldn't wanna miss it for the world, and it seems neither would 388,000 other people.
