In Washington DC, a crowd of hundreds came together outside the United States Supreme Court to pay tribute to Justice Ruth Bader Ginsburg.

The 87-year-old judge lost her battle with cancer on Friday.

Almost three decades ago, Ginsburg became only the second woman to be appointed to the Supreme Court.

A legal pioneer, she spent her time on the Supreme Court championing the rights of women, the LGBTQ community and immigrants.

No stranger to a fight, Ginsburg pursued a legal career at a time when there were few women in her field.

Her battles to bring about equality for women in the 1970s were dramatised in the film "On The Basis Of Sex".

A stalwart of the liberal bench, Ginsburg's death leaves a vacancy on the Supreme Court that President Trump is keen to fill with a right-leaning candidate.

Liberal voters worry about the long-lasting impact this could have on legal policy and law making in the States.
