Thousands of mourners who lined up on Sunday morning at Karuzika Royal Palace, in Uganda, to pay their respects to the late Omukama Oyo Nyimba Kabamba Iguru Rukidi IV, the King of the Tooro Kingdom, were forced to scatter and take shelter after a heavy downpour.
The 34-year-old, who died late last month in Texas, USA, following a long battle with cancer, ascended to the throne in September 1995 when he was three years old, after his father, King Patrick David Matthew Rwamuhokya Kaboyo Olimi III, died suddenly.
President Yoweri Museveni led the nation in mourning the fallen King on Thursday when he received his body at Entebbe International Airport.
The late King will be laid to rest on the 12th of this month, after which the Tooro Kingdom will name his successor.
