The 31-year-old king of the Himalayan nation of Bhutan has married his commoner bride in a Buddhist ceremony at a 17th Century monastery.

The British-educated Jigme Khesar Namgyel Wangchuck came down from his throne to place a crown upon the head of 20-year-old student Jetsun Pema.

As the monks chanted, the king returned to the seat and Ms Pema sat upon the throne beside him as the new queen.

Wangchuck is widely revered in the country of some 700,000 people.

After a brief ceremony, the king and his bride held hands and walked into the monastery.

An hour of blessings and prayers marked the marriage ceremony, reports said.

There were no visiting heads of states, foreign princes or celebrities at the wedding, which was mainly attended by the royal family and broadcast live on national TV, reports said.
