Cambodians gathered to pray at the Royal Palace on Thursday, the day after the body of their former king Norodom Sihanouk was returned to the palace. It will lie in state for the next three months before a traditional cremation ceremony is held. The former king, a revered figure who ruled through the triumph of independence to the tragedy of Cambodia's brutal civil war, died of a heart attack in Beijing on Monday at the age of 89.
