BANGKOK — Mourners dressed in black lined the streets Friday for a last glimpse of Thailand’s revered King Bhumibol Adulyadej as the country began a long farewell that also marks an ­important moment of image-building for his presumed heir.

The king’s body was received by Crown Prince Vajiralongkorn at a Bangkok hospital, which the ailing monarch had made his virtual home for years before his death at age 88, which was announced Thursday. The motorcade then headed to the ornate Grand Palace for a ritual bathing of the body in accordance with Buddhist tradition. Bhumibol, the world’s ­longest-serving monarch, had been on the throne since 1946 and was the only king most Thais had ever known.
