Hundreds of people have bid a final farewell to renowned Israeli author Amos Oz at a memorial service in Tel Aviv.
Oz, a leading figure in Israel's now-struggling peace movement, passed away on Friday at the age of 79, after a battle with cancer.
Oz was revered by Israel's dovish left wing as an eloquent and outspoken advocate of peace with the Palestinians.
President Reuven Rivlin, as well as leading left-wing politicians, stage actors and other cultural figures attended Monday's service. Palestinian President Mahmoud Abbas sent a message expressing condolences.
