Thank you everyone for the links and pictures.
The Royal and the Presidential couple appear to enjoy each others company a lot - this has also been evident went they met on on earlier occasions. Maybe someone could change the name of the topic though? This is an official visit on the occasion of the Swedish-Finnish Bicentennial celebrations, but it's not a state visit.

Photos from yesterday in Turku:
Nelonen Yesterday the King and the Queen had a nice surprise, they met with Ethel Tinberg, who used to work at Haga Castle when the king grew up: ANP Beeldbank ANP Beeldbank I read from the paper version of "Iltasanomat", that there were about 20 guests at the private crayfish dinner which president Halonen offered to her royal guests. Among the guests there were Minister for foreign Affairs, Alexander Stubb and Minister of Housing, Jan Vapaavuori. Alongside everyone´s plate there was a booklet of drinking songs, which they sang while eating crayfish and drinking schnapps (this is a tradition in Finland while eating crayfish). There weren´t any photos of the dinner at the paper version either.
