hey everyone
i have just watched, shook hand and had a wonderful meeting with mary..again..this time it was extra great because we all could see and follow mary throughout the whole event..here comes my little reportage...
i showed up at the roskilde library 11.30 and there were many people..around 200 i guess... lots of kids and teenagers stood on the stairs and all the way down to the way where marys car would arrive. she couldn't had get a better arrivial...also our mayor was ready to receive mary.
we are waiting and waiting and people are so excited and exactly 12.00 arriving the crown car 8 and mary coming out and walks up the stairs. and man, so beautiful and graceful she is...she takes her plenty plenty of time to greet all the kids up along the stairs... and so she comes up to us who stand further up and people become almost touched...it sound maybe weird...but its true...i almost shaken a bit.. the atmosphere is so good and mary were so lovely that we all actually gave mary a spontaneous round of applause ... which made her very happy ... she is very popular undoubtedly...
a really good thing was that we all could get into the library and follow the whole event from the sidelines...but so many people...so many cell phones in the air..so a bit difficult to see her... many people went into the room where chairs and a big screen was erected so that people were able to follow it all live on a big screen..i switched to Watch it on the live screen and go back into the hall and see mary in real life...mary kept a sweet child-friendly speech... the kids were completely silent during the speech... people are talking and they are very impressed how well, flawless and fluent she speaks danish...very easy to understand and she speaks very clear..
after the speech mary went around and greeted all the children and people who were invited...we others stood on the sidelines...again so many people and we stood close together and all took photos .. so some minuttes without seeing so much...but all people were waiting...
and then she comes to us... lots of big mary-smiles...she is just so beautiful and we all get a big smile and some words from her... here i also shake her hand
i hear people saying "my, she is "gudesmuk" (means really beautiful)".. and she is .. i say it every time i... and very smiling and happy... and very very accommodating...
several times she sits her squatting with the children on the floor (see my photos) and give her plenty of time to chat with them...sometimes she sits there up to 4-5 minutes..people praise it and think its only great she takes her so much time...she is not afraid to exceed the schedule..
then there is whispered that mary soon will come out again...and all the photographers rush out...i dont lie ... they ran fast like was it about running for their lives...we others hurry too step aside
but there was no need to hurry...we waited 5-10 minutes outside because mary gave her good time.. also to see things outside of the program... the organizers told proudly about how genuine interested she is... people outside agreed... the journalists too..some said that is why they are so fond of her..i can see into the hall and the kids are all around mary...they hug her...and caresses her cheek...mary takes the time to all the kids before she comes out...
and now she comes...mary is surprised to see how many who have been waiting for her all the time to come out again and she says "oh, you're sweet ..."
people waving and some shouting "happy 10 years.. nice to see you and frederik so happy..." a very happy mary says "oh thanks a thousand thats was sweet of you..."
on the way down the stairs mary again gives her plenty of time to greet all the kids ... they almost follow her down and into the car...
and while i hear some people laugh at how the cars on the road and a city bus almost forget to look where they are driving... because they all look at their crown princess who suddenly stood there on the sidewalk
a truly wonderful experience...mary is a fantastic sweet woman..very mild, smiling, accommodating and down to earth...so many people...so many expectations and i will dare to say she fulfilled them all...
i know i maybe sound over the top happy ... but that's what i am right now ...
here all my photos...they became not so good this time because i looked more at mary than at my cellphone
