A shopping mall in Kenya is due to re-open today almost two years after a violent siege which claimed dozens of lives.

In total 67 people died when Islamist militants stormed Nairobi's Westgate Mall in September 2013.

The siege lasted four days and the centre suffered severe structural damage but around half the shops are operating again after extensive refurbishment.
