STORYLINE:
The body of Bangladesh's president, Zillur Rahman, was flown back to the capital Dhaka on Thursday, following his death at a hospital in Singapore on the previous day.
He was 84.
Family members of the deceased president, as well as government officials, were present at the airport to receive his body.
Prime Minister Sheik Hasina and acting president Abdul Hamid also paid their respects.
Rahman was a top leader of the ruling Awami League party before Parliament elected him president in 2009.
He was flown to Singapore's Mount Elizabeth Hospital on March 10 for treatment of respiratory problems.
The government declared three days of mourning starting on Thursday.
Rahman's death does not affect the government since Bangladesh is a parliamentary democracy, with the prime minister holding executive powers.
The president's office said parliamentary speaker Abdul Hamid was acting president until the legislature elects a new president.
Prime Minister Sheikh Hasina offered her condolences and described Rahman as a patriotic leader.
