The hearse driving the gun carriage to the foot of Tho Mount 
Climbing up Tho Mount where General Giap’s grave is located 
Honour guard members carrying the coffin up to the grave site
Everyone standing solemnly watching the procession
Tens of thousands of people heading towards the grave site
General Giap resting in peace 
Bidding final farewells to the revered General
