The late King's royal procession will involve transporting his royal urn from the royal crematorium at Sanam Luang on Oct 26 to Chakri Maha Prasat Throne Hall on Oct 29, where the cremains of all Thai kings are kept. Ten groups of participants are set to wear traditional uniforms as they perform their duties in the royal procession. They come from the First Division King's Guard, the Department of Army Transportation and Vajiravudh college, among others. "They will have to learn quickly how to wear the uniforms, so we will not incur any delays,"said Maj Gen Krishdana. The Department of Army Transportation was assigned to pick a total of 58 representatives to carry the palanquin, after undergoing military fitness drills, such as running distances in a certain amount of time.
