The Tongan Royal family made their way to the Ratu Cakobau Church on Bau island led by the King of Tonga King Tupou VI this morning.

Fiji Times reports the King of Tonga entered the church minutes before the Republic of the Fiji Military Force pallbearers made their way to the Vatanitawake to carry the late Roko Tui Bau Ratu Joni Madraiwiwi casket to the church for the thanksgiving service.

Also attending the funeral service is the President of Nauru Baron Waqa and other Pacific dignitaries.
