Many roads were closed for his funeral procession this afternoon.
A side note, what kind of rituals were administered? -
the funeral carriage was used, there are total of three of these 25-pounders modified with a platform for coffins. Two of them are ordinary ones used for normal military funerals, the third one comes with a glass cover which is used only for VVIPs.

arh, 'late' is enough. 'Fallen' have the connotation of being kill while performing duty. Not quite appropriate here.Originally posted by wonderamazement:as the late fallen ex president Wee Kim Wee is laid to rest today, i wonder will they be playing TAPS? here's a link but you'll need to have quicktime...http://bands.army.mil/music/bugle/calls/taps.mp3 -

The tune played by the two processional bands is the Dead March from Handel's oratorio Saul. It is a standard funeral tune for state funerals in Singapore.Originally posted by wonderamazement:anyway anyone knows wha the fulle name of the song is? i tried searching it on yahoo and gave me the batann march...
The bugle call is called Last Post. It is of British origin. The bugle call the Americans use is called Taps. -
