Thailand's lavish royal funeral
Updated on 15 November 2008
The funeral of a Thai princess takes place in Bangkok, in front of tens of thousands of mourners.
It took more planning and cost more money than most celebrity weddings.
The funeral of Princess Galyani Vadhana took 10 months to organise and cost £7m.
In a symbol of the importance of the monarchy in Thailand, after months of political turmoil, the elaborate funeral procession brought the country to a standstill.
