The Queen's Arrival in Aarhus

On Saturday, June 5th, the Queen of Denmark arrived via boat to Aarhus, for the summer. She has a summer home in Aarhus, and every year on the date of her arrival, there is a little celebration on the boat, and then parade en route to her home.

This year was a bigger deal, because it is the year of her 70th birthday, and there was a big celebration planned at the local soccer stadium. I did not go to the celebration, but I was able to see the parade, etc.

The Queen is in the blue dress.
