Sultan Ahmad Tajuddin ascended the throne on 21 September 1924, after the death of his father, Sultan Muhammad Jamalul Alam II. Due to his young age of 11, the reign was temporarily held by a Council of Regency which consisted of Yang Teramat Mulia Pengiran Bendahara Pengiran Anak Abdul Rahman and Yang Teramat Mulia Pengiran Pemancha Pengiran Anak Haji Mohammad Yassin from September 11, 1924 to September 19, 1931.
The ceremony was attended by the British Resident in Brunei at that time, Mr. E.E.F. Pretty.

Famous quotes containing the word throne:
“I tell you, hopeless grief is passionless;
That only men incredulous of despair,
Half-taught in anguish, through the midnight air
Beat upward to God’s throne in loud access
Of shrieking and reproach. Full desertness,
In souls as countries, lieth silent-bare
Under the blanching, vertical eye-glare
Of the absolute Heavens.”
—Elizabeth Barrett Browning (1806–1861)
