The King of Sweden celebrate 50 years on the throne on Saturday. There will be a lot of vistors in town, and here is one of them. I took these photos at Skeppsbrokajen yesterday. Just across the street from the Royal Palace. The ship is called Dannebrogen. Or, in English Her Danish Majesty's Yacht Dannebrog. We had to wait a few minutes and I wish I had brought my zoom lens, but you can't have everything your way. In the third photo to the right you can see Margrethe II of Denmark waving to the crowds.
The whole boat glows with those sheer white costumes.
ReplyDeleteEveryone wearing their dress uniforms for the occasion.
ReplyDeleteVery nice.
ReplyDeleteI like to see events that involve royalty. : )
What beautiful lines the ship has.
ReplyDeleteQuite a ship.
ReplyDeleteI can't find anybody waving. Is it just me??
ReplyDeleteHa, because they were standing around me, I lifted the camera above my head to shoot this. Massive crowds expected today for the parade.
