    i have been always watching video's of the Royal Famiili, i love the way Tongan people respect them, and having gathering with them. It was sad to hear the lost of the Queen Mother Halaevalu, i even posted on FB to share her lost.. I have a step Dad who Tongan, married to my mother for 19years before her death, he used to share stories bout Tonga and Royal Family... Now all i want to know is, Paula Moimoi Latu when u share any video bout them, it be nice if you could explan what they using or putting on her tomb...

    It was so sweet to see HER ROYAL HIGHNESS Being a Good GrandMother , teaching the little ones to do their duties at a early age ¡ I heard the one call Her GrandMa, and it just shows how we as people Royal or Not live real lives !! I LOVE THE Royal Family, they are so kind, and just good humans !!

    Much respect. I can recognize 5 of my friends in there - former school mates in Laucala Campus 1983, Alafua Campus - 1984- 1986 and Tongan community in Perth, Western Australia in 1989 - 1993. Am so proud to see this unique tradition is well and alive in the kingdom of Tonga. Again, with much respect again.

    I understand this is in Tonga. What are those things you are wearing and what do they symbolize as a funeral ritual. A bit of some explanation of your culture would be interesting. You seem to be lovely people. Lots of love from Malawi in Africa

      It's called a ta'ovala, plain woven mat
      Tattered and worn ta'ovala are worn at funerals to represent their grief. They're also worn at all occasions those ones more decorated, fine woven and elaborate

      The nima tapu are placing volcanic rocks washed in coconut oil on the queen mother's grave. It is a symbol of status, respect and dignified adornement for the departed.
