King Abdullah Of Saudi Arabia's Finally Laid To Rest


Dignitaries from the Arab world at the grave to pay their final respects following the monarch's funeral
The royal king Abdullah, who died last night at age 90 after losing his battle to pneumonia has been buried in an unmarked grave in Riyadh less than 24 hours after his death.
His burial is in line with Muslim traditions.
Family, friends and dignitaries from the Arab world crowded around the grave to pay their final respects following the monarch's funeral this afternoon.
Abdullah's body was covered in a simple cloth as he was carried into the Imam Turki Bin Abdullah Grand Mosque in Riyadh on a stretcher.

Late King Abdullah

Until his death, didn't know King Abdullah was a nonagenarian. Am I the only one who thinks he looked younger than his age before his passing?
