It seems that the Photos that I posted on post #117 correspond to the dinner. It was an Uniform Dinner

Hjemmeværnets 60 års jubilæum

Looks like this link hasn't been posted yet. A slide show with 49 pics without watermark.

I especially like the pics with both Frederik & Mary in uniform. It doesn't look flattering on Mary, probably because we are used to seeing her in elegant clothing, but kudos for her to go through the whole army process in the first place.

Marie looks like either pregnant with twins or giving birth any minute. She looks bored in most pics, ok she has other things on her mind, and the stilettos won't have helped feeling more comfortable. Maries hat looks like a strange type of french beret, quite ridiculous.

Ok - Thanks. I see now, Mary had a little more make-up on and the uniform is slightly different (or she's not wearing the jacket) from the parade ones.

I love the fact that CP Mary participated in this event as a soldier. She clearly enjoyed her military training, and is seems very proud to be able to be a part of the military.

Translation of a Q&A in Billed Bladet #44, 2012.

Where a Dora Anoldus would like to know whether the bear caps worn by the Royal Lifeguard Regiment are genuine.

Jon Bloch Skipper replies:
In England the ligeguard of Queen Elizabeth have begun to wear caps of synthetic fur, but here at home the Royal Lifeguards still use fur from black bears. (*)
This tradition from the beginning of the 1800s will not be changed despite wide spread critisism from animal rights organisations.
It needs to be added that the Lifeguard only use fur from black bears that are certified according to the Washington Convention about endangered animals. Black bears a protected but it's legal to shoot a certain number to cull the population.
Incidentally it takes an entire skin to manufacture one bear skin cap.

(*) By late 1700's the Royal Lifeguards had evolved into a grenadier regiment and such regiments typically used bearskin caps. Later on during the 1800's the regiment, just like other grenadier regiments, evolved into a heavy infantry of the line. By then the bear skin caps were typical of guards regiments.
In Britain there are several guards regiments taking turn in guarding QEII's palaces. Usually of a battalion size each.
In DK there is only one "guards battallion" and it's only of company size, so the need for bear skin caps is limited in comparison. And bearskin caps last for decades.
