The late King Abdullah was placed in an unmarked grave (main picture) in keeping with local religious traditions less than 24 hours after Saudi Arabia was plunged into mourning by his death.
Earlier his body, wrapped in white cloth had been carried through a crowd of mourners into a mosque in Riyadh. The royal died last night aged 90 following a battle with pneumonia. Half-brother Salman, 79, a reputed moderate, has inherited the throne.
