EDITORS COMMENTS
In this striking photograph, Her Majesty Queen Sirikit of Thailand and His Majesty King Bhumibol Adulyadej (Rama IX) of Thailand are seen making their official entrance at Lancaster House in London during their two-day state visit to the United Kingdom in 1960. The royal couple, dressed in elegant Thai attire, are greeted warmly by the British Foreign Secretary, Mr. Selwyn Lloyd. The year 1960 marked a significant moment in the diplomatic relations between Thailand and the United Kingdom. King Bhumibol Adulyadej and Queen Sirikit's visit to the UK was the first state visit by a Thai monarch to the country, and it was an opportunity for both nations to strengthen their ties and celebrate their shared history. The reception at Lancaster House was just one of the many engagements on the royal itinerary, which included meetings with the British monarch, Queen Elizabeth II, and other members of the British royal family, as well as visits to various cultural and historical sites around the UK. The photograph captures the moment of warmth and friendship between the two monarchs and the British Foreign Secretary, as they exchange pleasantries and welcome the Thai royals to the UK. The elegant attire of Queen Sirikit, with her intricately designed headdress and traditional Thai dress, adds to the regal and formal atmosphere of the occasion. This photograph is a testament to the rich cultural exchange and diplomatic relations between Thailand and the United Kingdom, and it remains an important historical record of a significant moment in the history of both nations.
