    The headline is wrong.
    We don't crown the monarch, and haven't done so since before 1660…

    You know what I find interesting? This actually got covered in the US too, but comments there are "who cares?" whereas here you have people from monarchies all over the world all sharing in celebration & joy for the Danish people & their royal family. If ever we needed an answer as to why monarchies are relevant today, this seems to be it! They seem to bring peace, joy & unity to all those touched by them (well not all I guess, but certainly a lot)

    Funny that you mentioned the have seen some pictures of the new crown prince but not a word about him when he stands there on the balcony right next to his father and other siblings.
    Fun fact the police announced at 13.57 (3 minutes before Margarete abdicated) that no more people where allowed to enter the palace plaza for safety reasons. If we could there would have been a much bigger crowd. An entire week before almost all train tickets where sold out because so many people from all over the country wanted to come.
    Tivoli had the biggest firework show in their 180 years of existence. It was only 12 minutes but they fired 1251 stars 2651 bombettes and 1251 big Roman candles. It will be decades before they can do anything like that again

    He was NOT " crowned " !! He was installed legally as the new king of Denmark.

    As an ex-pat Brit living in Denmark, I expected more from the BBC that to title this with the word "coronation" – Danish monarchs haven't been crowned since the monarchy became constitutional. They are proclaimed, as was said in the video itself!
    As for King Frederik and Queen Mary being overwhelmed, I don't think that's the case, the king is very down to earth and relaxed, and I'm pretty sure he's been looking forward to this (especially as he is not mourning his mother), he's the sort who wears his heart on his sleeve and just like when he and Mary married, it was an emotional day, for the right reasons! It's a very different day from 52 years ago, not least because the crowds had two weeks warning, so many more were able to be there.

US hits ‘dozens’ of Iranian sites in strikes, as Iran targets US bases in region | BBC News

Published

on



The US said it has hit “dozens” of Iranian military targets in overnight attacks, in response to Iran hitting commercial ships in the Strait of Hormuz.

The military said it struck “air-defense systems, coastal radar sites, missile and drone capabilities, and small boats”, using aircraft, ships, and drones – including “one-way attack sea drones for the first time”.

“The Strait of Hormuz is a vital maritime corridor for global trade,” the US military said. “Iran does not control it”.

In response, Iran said it targeted US bases in Jordan, Bahrain, and Kuwait and also radar systems in Oman.

Trump demands 20% toll on cargos passing through strait of Hormuz | BBC News

Published

on



President Donald Trump has said the US is reinstating a naval blockade of Iranian ports and will impose a 20% charge on all cargo shipped through the Strait of Hormuz following days of escalating strikes between the two countries.

He said this would stop “Iran’s ships or customers” from entering or leaving the key oil shipping route, but “all other countries will have fair and open use of the Strait”.

Iran’s foreign minister later said whoever provides safe passage “should be compensated for this service”, but Iran would remain the strait’s “GUARDIAN” – using Trump’s word.

Tehran and Washington clashed over the strait’s control after exchanging strikes in the region overnight and on Monday.

The US said it carried out strikes against military targets in Iran, targeting air defence systems, coastal radars, and missile and drone sites. Iran said it responded by striking US military bases in Kuwait, Jordan and Bahrain, and radars in Oman.

US launches more strikes on Iran and resumes naval blockade of ports | BBC News

Published

The US military said it was carrying out a new wave of strikes on targets in Iran. It said the aim of the attacks was to degrade Iran’s ability to attack shipping in the strait of Hormuz. It came ass the US Navy resumed its blockade of Iran’s ports.

Iran said that control of the strait of Hormuz was required for its national security and it will exercise sovereignty over the key shipping lane, whatever the cost.

President Trump announced that he was scrapping a plan he had announced a day earlier, for placing a 20% toll or tariff on all cargos passing through the strait of Hormuz.
