PHNOM PENH - Hundreds of people gathered at Independence Monument in Phnom Penh on Friday to celebrate the 59th anniversary of Cambodia’s independence from France.
King Norodom Sihamoni, still in mourning at the death of his father, Norodom Sihanouk, did not attend the ceremony. Sihanouk is widely credited with bringing Cambodia through its independence without violence. He died in Beijing Oct. 15, and his body is now lying in state at the Royal Palace.
The death of the former king, widely revered in the country, cast a somber mood on the celebration.
The ceremony was presided over by National Assembly President Heng Samrin, at Independence Monument in the capital. Prime Minister Hun Sen did not attend the ceremony, which included the lighting of a “victory flame” at the base of the monument that will burn for the next three days.
Marn Dollar, a 22-year-old student of agriculture, said the ceremony was a day of sadness for him, due to the death of Sihanouk.
“I told my children to remember the king father and what he has done for the nation,” said Ket Phana, a 54-year-old civil servant from the Ministry of Rural Development, who joined the anniversary celebrations.

In the picture, Cambodian/Khmer people don't look like. Those are Vietnamese/Yuon gooks.
Correction for 6:06 PM
In the picture, Cambodian/Khmer people don't look like those kids/teenagers. Those are Vietnamese/Yuon gooks who were coming from the illegal Yuou/Viet Gook Parents in Cambodia.
Khmer/Cambodian folks mixed other races appreciate their Khmer nationality.
Khmer/Cambodian people usually have very strong and healthy looking features, strong and high cheek bone, hazel eyes, healthy looking, with dark, light and light tan skin.
You can be the judge!
Most Vietnamese/Yuon look like Chinese, but they act different from Chinese people.
