H.M. Dronningen


We got to see the queen!  She came to town to unveil the cathedral's new gate.  I am not quite sure what we expected - a crown?  horse and carriage? - but she arrived in a Volvo sedan.  She seemed to be wearing regular clothing, but she never turned to the crowd so it was hard to see.  Despite the lack of pomp, it was still exciting to do something completely different.  The local paper's article can be found here.
Before - the new cathedral gate is draped while photographers, police, guards, and citizens mill about
During - the queen is in a blue coat to the left of the gate
After - the new gate, not designed by the queen even though she is an artist
To some of us, this was an exciting chance to see the queen's number plate
