BANGKOK, May 5 (Xinhua) -- Thai King Bhumibol Adulyadej on Tuesday attended a ceremony commemorating the 65th anniversary of his accession to the throne, a rare public appearance the world's longest reigning monarch has made since late last year.
The king left Siriraj Hospital, where he has been under medical treatment since last October, and stayed at the Grand Palace for around an hour before returning to the hospital with the company of Sirindhorn.
The crown prince performed the subsequent religious ceremony.
A walking rally was reportedly held earlier in the day to celebrate the coronation anniversary, with Defense Minister and Deputy Prime Minister Prawit Wongsuwan presided over its opening ceremony.
The five-kilometer walk drew people from all walks of life and government officials.
The 87-year-old king was crowned on May 5, 1950 at the Royal Palace in Bangkok.

WASHINGTON, July 1 (Xinhua) -- The U.S. and Iran missed Tuesday 's deadline to hammer out an agreement on the Islamic Republic's controversial nuclear program, but some experts said they would not be surprised if the new deadline is postponed again.
Iran and the P5+1 Cheap Air Jordan 13 Retro For Sale , or five UN Security Council permanent members including Britain, China, France, Russia and the U.S., plus Germany, have in recent months been engaged in intensive talks over Iran's nuclear program. After missing the June 30 deadline for a final deal, the two sides agreed Tuesday to extend the deadline to July 7.
The U.S. Congress has set July 9 as its deadline in the Iran Nuclear Agreement Review Act Cheap Air Jordan 12 Retro For Sale , when the administration of President Barack Obama must deliver a copy of the deal to U.S. lawmakers, who will have a month to examine it.
Iran is still at odds with the U.S. over a few crucial issues, which need to be ironed out before any deal is made. The U.S.-led Western powers suspect Tehran's nuclear program is intended to build nuclear weapons, though Tehran maintains the program is peaceful.
Obama said Tuesday that he would walk away from a bad deal, pointing specifically to ongoing disagreements over inspections of Iran's nuclear sites, saying that without assurances that a way toward building nuclear weapons is blocked, there will be no deal. He added that inspections would need to be vigorous and targeted and that any agreement cannot simply depend on declarations from Iran that it is sticking to the deal.
David Pollock Cheap Air Jordan 11 Retro For Sale , a senior fellow at the Washington Institute for Near East Policy, told Xinhua the main sticking points are the issue of inspections and access, as well as whether inspectors will have full access to Iran's facilities on the ground or whether there will be restrictions.
For Iran, the major issue is sanctions, including the timing and schedule of sanctions relief for Iran and whether that would be conditional, gradual, partial or immediate Cheap Air Jordan 10 Retro For Sale , Pollock said.
All the technical details, such as centrifuges, are still under discussion, which means much complicated work ahead, Pollock said.
Even if a deal is reached in time, there is still a risk that it could be scrapped, as it remains unknown whether Iran's Supreme Leader Ayatollah Ali Khamenei will accept it. Indeed Cheap Womens Air Jordan 1 Retro For Sale , there have been cases where negotiators reached an agreement but then took it back to Tehran only to see it vetoed by the Ayatollah, Pollock said.
