However following royal tradition to allow for an appropriate period of mourning, her Coronations did not take place until 2nd June 1953. Her Majesty is now the world’s second longest reigning monarch having reigned for 61 years second only to King Bhumibol Adulyadej of Thailand who has reigned for 67 years. She has spent her reign devoted to service and country.

On 15 August 1612, the Globe, a British East India Company merchantman arrived in the port of Bangkok bearing a letter from King James I which was delivered to King Songtham in Ayuthaya . As a result of which the East India Company was presented with a piece of land to build a warehouse. This was the start of four centuries of friendship and cooperation which forged strong links between Thailand and Britain. In particular a shared respect for monarchy has always made the two countries close with several Thai kings and Princes spending their schooling days in Britain.
