But the celebration that marked the 32nd birthday of Queen Sirikit would have sufficed for at least three ordinary royal consorts. On the first day, the army and navy fired 21-gun salutes, while roses smothered Bangkok's main boulevard. On the second, Buddhist monks chanted as the Queen lit candles in the Temple of the Emerald Buddha.
