Connected, Comitted, For the Kingdom of Denmark

Today is a special day in Denmark. Queen Margrethe signed a declaration of her abdication and thereby transferred the crown to her son, our new King Frederik X. Queen Margrethe has been our Queen for 52 years. 

I took the boys for a morning walk and my picture is Sorø Academy's Main Building with the royal flag celebrating the change of monarch. 

I had a Nose Work training thing at lunch time and when we came home, I watched the Danish Prime Minister proclaime the King’s accession.

The King held his first speech to the people and revealed his motto: Connected (to the people). Comitted. For the Kingdom of Denmark. 

The moment at the the Council of State, when the Queen signed the documents was very moving. She signed the papers, got up and let her son take her chair, then stepped back and said "God Save the King" before she left the room.
