King Maha Vajiralongkorn,65, the son of the former sovereign, performed the service at the three-tiered crematorium, which represents Mount Meru, the centre of the Hindu and Buddhist universe where it is believed Thai royals return after death. He led a procession of the ashes through the streets of Bangkok as part of an elaborate five-day funeral that drew hundreds of thousands of black-clad mourners to the city's historic old quarter. King Bhumibol was the world's longest-reigning monarch when he died a year ago aged 88.
The government has set aside £70million for the lavish funeral in Bangkok. In Thailand it is a crime to criticise the monarchy.

I've been to Bangkok recently and it was truly visable how people respected and loved their king! They were all wearing black and truly mouring. I was amazed with that! Never have I ever seen something similar nowhere in the world
