king-Norodom-Sihanouk 400PHNOM PENH: The body of Cambodia's revered former king Norodom Sihanouk arrived back in his homeland on Wednesday as tens of thousands of mourners filled the streets of the capital to pay their last respects.

 

An Air China flight from Beijing transporting his body landed at Phnom Penh airport, an AFP reporter said. A convoy was set to take the coffin straight to the royal palace, where the ex-monarch will lie in state for three months.
