Lusail Palace drew a second day of large mourning crowds as Sheikh Tamim bin Hamad Al Thani received condolences after the death of Father Emir Sheikh Hamad bin Khalifa Al Thani, who died Sunday aged 74.
Donald Trump called Sheikh Tamim on Tuesday, while presidents, prime ministers and royals from across the Gulf, Africa and wider region traveled to Doha to pay respects in person.
