Nun Takes the Attention

It's the day after the death of the twice-crowned former king, Sihanouk was announced. His body will be flown back tomorrow from China accompanied by Cambodian King, Norodom Sihamoni, and Prime Minister, Hun Sen.

In the meantime the press are out in numbers to click pictures and interview mourners outside the Royal Palace.

The problem for them though is that only one or two folk have come to pay their respects- likely due to the fact that Sihanouk's body has yet to have made its way back home.


So when this Nun passes the palace to do just that she is besieged by the media looking for a 'money-shot.'

Despite the lack of numbers today, tens-of-thousands of Cambodians are expected to line the streets to     watch as the body is returned home from Beijing.
