A group of children had taken their kindergarten teacher for an excursion from suburbian Sundbyvester on the airport island of Amager to the Royal Palace of Amalienborg in Copenhagen to witness the opening of the Amalienborg Museum exhibition of Danish Queen Margrethe II's life and artistic works.The international crowd of children represented the nations of Iceland, Korea, Lebanon, etc. - and the young correspondents took to the first line of the kerb for a better view of the event.
The international correspondents witnessed first Crown Prince Frederik X and Crown Princess Mary arrive a little early. And later the Queen herself and the Prince Consort Henrik as they arrived last as tradition prescribes.The exhibition is to mark the Regent's 70th birthday next week, and opens to the public from 8th April to 19th September in the Christian VIII mansion at Amalienborg. Not to be confused with the recently renovated and redecorated private Frederik VIII mansion of Crown Prince Frederik X and Crown Princess Mary, which is also open to the public in the period from 27th February to 30th May this year.
The security clad correspondents later gathered around their kindergarten teacher and chief photographer for a brief editorial meeting to make a selection of favourite photos.For further information, please see:
