The Saudi Al-Bayan website said al-Omeiri al-Rashidi, a 110-year-old Saudi citizen, witnessed the coronation of seven kings from King Abdulaziz Al Saud, the founder of Saudi Arabia, to King Salman bin Abdulaziz.
Rashidi lives in the southern province of Ha’il and has 25 children and grandchildren. He was in his twenties when King Abdulaziz Al Saud died.
His son says that he has a sharp memory despite his age, and that he can mention the dates the kings were coronated.
