Colombians have bid farewell to senator and presidential hopeful Miguel Uribe Turbay, who died this week more than two months after being shot during a political rally.

The death of Miguel Uribe, two months after the attack against him, marks a return to the worst period of political violence in Colombia.

Miguel Uribe Turbay was critically wounded on June 7 during a campaign rally in the country's capital, suffering gunshot wounds to the head and leg.
