Above, a view of Kronborg Castle, where a Luncheon was offered on the very morning of the Royal Wedding. Below, a gun salute is fired as King Frederik IX arrives at the Fortress ahead of his royal guests.

Some of the royal guests touring the rooms of Kronborg Castle before the Luncheon.

On the left, TRH Princess Beatrix and Prince Claus of The Netherlands, enter the Palace, as do TRH Princess Margrethe and Prince Henrik of Denmark, on the right. As it is quite possible to see, there was a real joy obvious in everyone’s faces.

Actually, not everyone was looking happy that day. Although Queen Anne-Marie, radiantly happy to be back in her homeland, tried to cheer her husband up, King Constantine kept his sombre look throughout the day, his thoughts perhaps in his own country which he had had to flee some months before. Above, King Constantine’s younger sister, HRH Princess Irene of Greece and Denmark walks in front of Kronborg Castle. Their sister, Princess Sofia of the Asturias, had been delivered of a son days before, in Madrid.

On the left, the preparations for the candle-lit Royal Luncheon inside Kronborg Castle. On the right, HM Queen Elizabeth The Queen Mother walks in front of HM The King of Norway, who escorted her during the wedding celebrations.
