Aylan`s body arrived in the Turkish city of Istanbul on Friday. From there, it will make its final trip home to Kobani, the Syrian city his family left to escape the daily barrage of bombs.
His funeral is expected to take place this weekend.
Images of the small Syrian boy will live on long after he`s gone. The photos, which have galvanized the world and become the latest symbol of the migrant crisis in Europe, show his tiny body lying on a Turkish beach. He`s wearing a red shirt and black shoes, his face partly covered by sand and gentle waves, as if he was sleeping.
