泰王普密蓬公开露面,庆祝登基65周年

Thailand\'s ailing King Bhumibol Adulyadej, the world\'s longest-reigning monarch, has made a rare public appearance to celebrate the 65th anniversary of his coronation.

Television stations in Thailand broadcast live Tuesday as the widely revered 87-year-old king left the Bangkok hospital where he has spent the last several months.

Hundreds of people lining the streets cheered "Long Live the King" as the monarch\'s motorcade passed on its way to the Grand Palace for a Buddhist ceremony attended by top Thai officials.

The festivities are to mark Coronation Day, a public holiday in Thailand in remembrance of the king\'s official ascension to the throne on May 5, 1950, three years after his reign began following the death of his brother.

The king, who is now wheelchair-bound, has rarely left the hospital after having his gall bladder removed in October.

星期二，泰国电视台实况转播了87岁的泰王普密蓬离开曼谷医院的情形，他已住院几个月。普密蓬在泰国深受爱戴。

泰王的车队驶往曼谷大皇宫，泰国高层官员们在那里参加一个佛教仪式。数百人在街道两旁，在车队驶过时欢呼“国王万岁”。

登基纪念日是泰国的公立假日，纪念普密蓬于1950年5月5日，即他哥哥逝世的三年后正式登基。

泰王去年10月摘除了胆囊，此后很少离开医院，目前需坐轮椅。
