(11 Aug 2016) Hundreds of mourners have paid their respects to Anne of Romania, wife of former King Michael, lying in state at the Royal Palace in Bucharest.
Romanians climbed the stairs of the elegant palace to the marble room where Anne's coffin was placed, draped with a flag bearing the royal crest and flanked by soldiers.
Thursday is the third day of mourning in Romania for Anne, who died on August 1 in Switzerland, aged 92.
The communists forced Michael to abdicate in 1947. He married Anne six months later.
Romania and Moldova have declared a national day of mourning on Saturday when Anne will be buried.
