Yesterday at noon was the annual sounding of the emergency sirens. Both yesterday and today full flags were flying, including on the top of the buses. The helpful people at the security booth at David's lab had a sign saying it was for Danmarks Befrielsen, or Denmark's liberation in 1945 by the British forces.

The celebration is very muted and while there is a ceremony in Nyhavn, the traditional observation seems to consist of putting lit candles in the windows, which is the same as the action taken when the blackout was lifted 66 years ago.
