'Star Wars' actress Carrie Fisher is to get a posthumous star on the Hollywood Walk of Fame in the US.
Fisher, who is arguably best known for her role as Princess Leia in the film franchise, died in 2016.
Her co-star, Mark Hamill, will speak at the unveiling ceremony on Thursday.
Fisher will become the 2,754th star on the California tourist attraction.

She also joins 'Star Wars' co-stars Hamill and Harrison Ford on the Walk of Fame, which recognises stars from film, television, music and other industries.
The move comes on May 4th, which is unofficially marked as a holiday for 'Star Wars' fans.
It is a play on a line that Fisher often said in the films - "May the Force be with you".
A space is measured on the Hollywood Walk of Fame in California for Carrie Fisher's star. Picture via @WalkofFameStar on TwitterFisher suffered a massive heart attack on a flight from London to Los Angeles in December 2016, and died four days later at the age of 60.
She was just 19 when she was propelled to stardom in 'Star Wars'.
In her autobiography she said she had an "intense" affair with her co-star Harrison Ford during the making of the film.
She also had well documented struggles with drugs and alcohol.
She wrote about her problems in detail in the semi-autobiographical 'Postcards From The Edge', which was later made into a film.
