King Olav was voted "The Norwegian of the Century" by NRK's viewers. He received 41% of the votes, and ca. 400,000 votes were cast in total. Runner ups were Einar Gerhardsen (A Prime Minister) and Erik Bye (an entertainer). - http://www.nrk.no/underholdning/store_norske/5330082.html

Also, maybe a time to stop by TRF's short bio of King Olav?

King Olav 70th Birthday Celebration in 1973

Soon King Harald V. will celebrate his 70th Birthday.
I thought this would be a good time to have a look back on King Olav's 70th Birthday Celebrations in 1973.



You can see several, beautiful pictures of Olav's 70th birthday here.

Thanks for the pictures, LaMinka!
I love the pictures of the King's birthday. It seemed to be a joyful event!
Crown Princess Sonja looked so beautiful (especially during the Gala) with her 9th month babybelly.


Here are some more pictures of the very pregnant Crown Princess Sonja during the celebrations:
