More than a year after King Bhumibol Adulyadej of Thailand's October 13, 2016 death at the age of 88, the country embarked upon five days of ceremonies, from October 25-29, as the monarch was cremated. Here, we take a look at the royal guests and poignant moments of the proceedings. From right to left: The late king's daughters, Princess Maha Chakri Sirindhorn and Princess Ubolratana, and granddaughters Princess Bajrakitiyabha and Princess Sirivannavari Nariratana, whose father is the current king, took part in a funeral ceremony on October 27 as the relics and ashes of the late king were transferred to the Grand Palace from the Royal Crematorium in Bangkok. Earlier, the current King Maha Vajiralongkorn had selected the relics from his father's ashes at the Royal Crematorium. The relics will now be enshrined. Photo: ANTHONY WALLACE/AFP/Getty Images
