King N. Sihanouk Funeral, day 10…
The official mourning period for King Norodom Sihanouk of 7 days ended yesterday. Attendance in front of the Royal Palace has drastically declined, suddenly revealing those who were probably there the previous days but went mostly unnoticed, drowned as they were in the crowds of worshippers: the street children eking out a living by selling candles some others had snatched away previously, the beggars, the incense and lotus flower sellers.
