12:38pm: More protests are expected in the centre of Alexandria later in the day. There will also be a funeral service in one of the suburbs for a protester who passed away yesterday after being injured in protests during Egypt's "day of anger", January 28.
12:27pm Our correspondent in Alexandria says the mood there is reminiscent of "some kind of hangover" today with quiet streets a day after hundreds of thousands took to the streets, calling on President Mubarak to step down.

12:24pm David Cameron, the British prime minister, tells a security conference in Germany that a rapid transition to a new leadership is needed in Egypt.

12:16pm Tahrir Square is calm, compared to recent days. One of our correspondent says people are queuing on Kasr al-Nil bridge to get into the square. The army is manning checkpoints, searching bags and checking IDs, to make sure no "infiltrators" can get in.
