:
: King Michael I - who will reportedly be
: sitting on a special throne-like chair -
: will be speaking ahead of ceremonies marking
: his 90th birthday

: The BBC News site has updated the article.
: The King received a standing ovation from
: many of the MPs, but some Government
: Ministers and President Traian Basescu,
: refused to attend the event.
