It was supposed to be a ceremony without pomp, it was said in advance. However, the Danish royal family was only able to partially comply with this plan. Since the early hours of the morning, thousands of people have been lining the streets in Copenhagen, despite temperatures around freezing point, to watch live the handover of the Danish crown from Queen Margrethe II to her son and successor Frederik. The scene was decorated with thousands of Danish flags, which hung from many windows, were waved by the crowd or spanned the pedestrian streets. Even the hastily installed mobile toilet facilities were decorated with cardboard crowns.
