Bare chested Maori warrior with a moko (facial tattoo) waits for the coffin of Maori Queen Te Arikinui Dame Te Atairangikaahu near the sacred Taupiri Mountain near Hamilton, New Zealand, Monday, Aug. 21. Along the route, thousands gathered to bid farewell to the late Queen, as conch shells sounded, and traditional farewell calls and haka (Maori war dances) rang out. [AP]
