US author Harper Lee, who wrote the Pulitzer Prize-winning novel To Kill A Mockingbird, has been laid to rest in Alabama.
The 89-year-old novelist, who died in her sleep on Friday, was buried in a private ceremony attended by close friends and family.
Earlier a memorial service took place at a church in her home town of Monroeville, which she used it as the basis for the fictional Maycomb in the 1960 novel.
A few dozen people were at the service at First United Methodist Church where Lee's long-time friend, history professor Wayne Flynt, read a eulogy.
Her coffin was then taken by silver hearse to a nearby cemetery where her parents A.C. Lee and Frances Finch Lee and sister Alice Lee are buried.
Playwright Horton Foote (L) developed Ms Lee's iconic novel, To Kill A Mockingbird, into a screenplay in 1962
