HRH Princess Galyani Vadhana passed away

Both articles from the Phuket Gazette; I leave this uncommented, as such sad news stands by itself.

Phuket Gazette:
"After months of receiving treatment for cancer, HRH Princess Galyani Vadhana’s condition deteriorated last night and she passed away 2.54 am this morning. She was 84.
The Princess had been receiving treatment for cancer at Siriraj Hospital for months. Well-wishers had flocked to the hospital since the news spread that she was admitted.
The Princess is the elder sister of two kings of the Chakri Dynasty, HM King Rama Ananda and the current monarch HM King Bhumibol Adulyadej.
The royal funeral will take place at the Dusit Mahaprasart Throne inside the Grand Palace. People who want to pay their respects to the Princess should attend the Sala Saha Thai Samakom at the Grand Palace from 1 pm to 4 pm today.
The mourning period started yesterday and will continue until the 100th day of her departure, the Royal Household Bureau has announced."

Phuket Gazette:
"The Royal Household Bureau today asked for staff at all government offices, state enterprises and educational institutions fly the national flag at half-mast and to wear black for the next 15 days as a mark of respect for HRH Galyani Vadhana, who passed away early this morning.
An emergency meeting of the Cabinet today concurred the request.
Students, however, may continue wearing their school uniforms as usual.
The Cabinet also asked for all government officers to postpone or cancel any public celebrations or fairs already scheduled to take place during the national mourning period of 15 days.
They also asked government officers to deter any such merry-making events from taking place during the next 100 days while vigil is being kept over HRH Galyani’s body.
The Ministry of Interior asked for all private entertainment venue operators to also observe the national mourning.
The Phuket Governor’s Office this afternoon confirmed to the Gazette that at this time this was a request only."
