INTERNATIONAL NEWS - Mourners in Thailand are marking the main part of the five-day funeral ceremony for the country's late King Bhumibol Adulyadej.
The revered king died in October 2016 aged 88.
A series of Buddhist rites began in the royal palace before the royal urn was moved onto a chariot to begin a large procession to the cremation site.
The late king will be cremated later on Thursday, in a royal pyre to be lit by his son, King Maha Vajiralongkorn.
The funeral officially started on Wednesday with a merit-making ceremony, a Buddhist rite, in the Grand Palace.
Many buildings in Bangkok's old quarter are draped in yellow marigolds, and huge crowds are lining the streets for the funeral procession.
