Thousands of mourners stood alongside the streets of Bangkok for the funeral procession of the late King of Thailand Bhumibol Adulyadej on Friday, who was the world's longest reigning monarch, as his body was transferred from the hospital to the Grand Palace. Thousands of Thai citizens, dressed in black to show their respect, watched the funeral procession drive by. Prime Minister Prayut Chan-ocha announced on Thursday that King Bhumibol Adulyadej died 88 in Bangkok's Siriraj Hospital at the age of 88 years old. Hundreds of people gathered outside the hospital to pray for the king in the days leading up to his death after news of his deteriorating health became public. Many in the crowd broke down in tears once the announcement of his death was made. Prime Minister Chan-ocha informed the Thai people that the king's successor would be Crown Prince Maha Vajiralongkorn and announced that Thailand would hold a one-year period of mourning, reducing entertainment-related events and activities for one month.. The Crown Prince is the only son of King Bhumidol Adulyadej and Queen Sirikit.
