Description
New Zealand bids farewell to a beloved Maori king as a flotilla of carved war canoes deliver the late monarch to his final resting place on the slopes of Mount Taupiri. King Tuheitia died on August 30 just days after undergoing heart surgery. His youngest daughter has been anointed the next queen.
"Devastation at losing him at such a young age," said Joanne Teina. "But you know, that's the truth, eh? That's the life expectancy of a Maori male - 69." IMAGES AND SOUNDBITES
