Watch: Supporters greet Thaksin after return to Thailand from exile

Former prime minister Thaksin Shinawatra landed in Bangkok on Tuesday, greeting supporters gathered at the airport before being taken to the Supreme Court.

There were cheers, speeches and songs from hundreds of his ecstatic supporters as Mr Thaksin finally made good on the many promises he has made to return. Many had travelled overnight from his party's stronghold in north-eastern Thailand to witness this moment.
