Ascension To The Throne
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:
“And though the shady gloom
Had given day her room,
The sun himself withheld his wonted speed,
And hid his head for shame,
As his inferior flame
The new-enlightened world no more should need;
He saw a greater Sun appear
Than his bright throne or burning axle-tree could bear.”
—John Milton (1608–1674)
