LAUSANNE, 8 Dec 2014, Deputy Prime Minister and Foreign Minister General Thanasak Patimapakorn yesterday presided over a candle lighting ceremony held in Lausanne, Switzerland to celebrate His Majesty the King’s birthday anniversary.
The ceremony, part of the ‘King of Heart’ campaign, has been organized by the Thai Embassy in Bern and Thai community in Europe to pay tribute to the King on the auspicious occasion of His Majesty’s 87th birthday anniversary on December 5th, 2014.
Lausanne has been picked as the site for the event due to the fact that His Majesty spent his early life in the city. Similar events have also been held simultaneously in various European cities such as London, and Paris.
All of the participants, reportedly donning yellow, came in droves to offer their well wishes to the beloved King on his birthday.
