2013 i think:)

Oh yes, yes Ilse. Thanks for correcting. Typo - too much is going on. Yes, the Royal Cremation will take place on 4 February 2013 and not in 2012 as I wrongly stated in the previous page.
 
The Royal Funeral procession for King Father Norodom Sihanouk will take place tomorrow and the Royal Cremation on Monday. Several foreign dignitaries including Prince Akishino of Japan will attend. 412 prisoners will be pardoned and released at the cremation site.

King Norodom Sihamoni and Queen Mother Norodom Monineath will now lead the lighting of the funeral pyre for this Royal Cremation Ceremony. They begin by reciting the final prayers for the most beloved King Father Norodom Sihanouk. This was serenaded by religious chants and followed by the firing of 101 gun salutes and fireworks at the cremation site.

King Norodom Sihamoni and Queen Mother Norodom Monineath greeted and presented gifts to all the foreign dignitaries and diplomats who attended the Royal Cremation Ceremony as they departed.

King Norodom Sihamoni is addressing the funeral attendees. His Majesty has consented to release 412 prisoners at the end of this ceremony.

The ashes will be washed. After being dried for a few days, the ashes will be divided into two parts - one part will be dropped at the confluence of Mekong River and Tonle Sap River, while the other part will be placed in a Royal Golden Urn to be laid at the Throne Room and later moved to a stupa after the place is ready.
