Thousands of grieving Thai royalists lined the streets of Bangkok on Sunday, saluting a procession bringing former queen Sirikit's body to lie in state for a year-long funeral at the capital's Grand Palace. Former queen Sirikit, the mother of the current King Vajiralongkorn and wife of the longest-reigning monarch, died Friday at the age of 93.  The former queen's body will lie in state at the seat of the Thai royalty for one year before cremation.
