Cartagena lays to rest Garcia Marquez's ashes

The ashes of Nobel literature laureate Gabriel Garcia Marquez were laid to rest on Sunday in Cartagena, the jewel of colonial architecture on Colombia's Caribbean coast, following a tribute to the author.

"There is joy mingled with sadness," said his sister Rosa Aida Garcia Marquez, one of the author's ten siblings.

His ashes will be kept in a former convent near the home where he liked to stay.
