The viewing, held at the Great Mosque of Yogyakarta in the afternoon, was attended by numerous political and military elite from both Indonesia and foreign countries; this included Prime Minister Abdul Halim, Minister of Defence Hamengkubuwana IX, Minister of Health Johannes Leimena, Minister of Justice Abdoel Gaffar Pringgodigdo, Minister of Information Arnold Mononutu, Chief of the Air Force Soerjadi Soerjadarma, Colonel Paku Alam VIII, and Suharto. The viewing was closed with a 24-gun salute.[146] Sudirman's body was brought to Semaki Heroes' Cemetery on foot, with a crowd of mourners 2 kilometres (1.2 mi) long trailing behind.[146] He was interred next to Oerip, after another gun salute. His wife filled in the first scoop of dirt,[149] followed by the government ministers.[146] The national government ordered flags to be flown at half-mast throughout the country,[145] and Sudirman was promoted to full general.[53] Major-General Tahi Bonar Simatupang was selected as the new leader of the armed forces.[146] Sudirman's memoirs were published later that year; a series of his speeches were also published in 1970.[150]
