　　Television stations in Thailand broadcast live Tuesday as the widely revered⁴ 87-year-old king left the Bangkok hospital where he has spent the last several months.

　　Hundreds of people lining⁵ the streets cheered "Long Live the King" as the monarch's motorcade passed on its way to the Grand Palace for a Buddhist⁶ 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 reign² began following the death of his brother.

　　The king, who is now wheelchair-bound, has rarely left the hospital after having his gall⁷ bladder removed in October.
