Welcoming the Queen and Her Husband

Mom, Stella and I went to Fredensborg Slot to see the Queen and her husband move into their castle. Every year, they move into this castle during the spring and stay over the summer. All of the residents of the Fredensborg town, come with torches to greet and welcome the royal couple. This year, we planned to go and be a part of it. It was a beautiful summer evening and when we got there Stella and I got an ice cream at the little ice cream stand and then watched the guards in action by the entrance.
When the residents came with their torches, the event began. There was a marching band playing music and a scout troops leading the residents with torches all the way up to the front door of the castle. The mayor was there, and so were the Queen´s husband´s two dogs. Finally the Queen and her husband came out, and elegantly walked down the stairs. The prince quieted his dogs and the mayor began to speak. They were super close to us, and it was very cool to see them up close and in person. Once the mayor was done speaking, the queen said her speech and then everyone sang the national anthem. It was very cool and very amazing to be a part of such a Danish event.
