Thailand nursery attack: offerings amid heartbreak as funerals of victims begin

Ceremonies under way in Uthai Sawan after king says there are no words that can describe the sorrow'

Toy trucks, baby bottles and flowers have been left beside the coffins of victims of the mass killing at a nursery school in north-eastern Thailand, as funeral ceremonies began.

Inside wat Rat Samakee, a temple in Uthai Sawan where most of the child victims were taken, families sat beside their loved ones' remains. A mother held on to her son's red blanket as she stared ahead. Another woman hugged her loved one's photo tightly.
