"Witnessing the wedding and crowning of five Kings in one lifetime"

With the crowning of His Majesty the Fifth Druk Gyalpo in 2008, she has witnessed the crowning of all the five Kings of Bhutan. Angay Sangay Pelzom from Bjoka in Zhemgang is 110-year-old. She lives with her granddaughter in Gelephu.

Angay Sangay has also witnessed the wedding of the four Druk Gyalpos. Come Thursday and she would have witnessed the wedding of the fifth Druk Gyalpo as well.
In 2008 during the coronation of His Majesty the King, she came to celebrate the event at the Tendrelthang in Thimphu, where she offered Ku Sung Thu gi mendrel to His Majesty. This time she will not be able to come to witness the historic event in person but will definitely be watching it LIVE on BBS TV.
At 110, Angay Sangay is a very satisfied person, having lived to see some of the historic events in the history of the Kingdom.
