Elephants doused in white powder, an auspicious color, stand in attention as mourners display currency notes with pictures of the late King Bhumibol Adulyadej at a ceremony marking one year since his death Friday, Oct. 13, 2017, in the ancient royal capital Ayuttahya, Thailand. Mourners clad in black stood in front of the elephants and fell silent for 89 seconds from 3.52 p.m., marking the official time of Bhumibol’s death in what Thailand’s Buddhist culture recognized as his 89th year. Then they sang an uplifting royal anthem and held pictures of Bhumibol above their heads while others prostrated on the ground. (AP Photo)
