The funeral will be televised on NRK1 on Friday from 12:00:
"The family's wish has been that everyone who wants to say a last goodbye with Ari shall have the possibility to do so. I want to remind everyone that it is a family in deep sorrow, and hope people respect that and don't photograph or take video in the church" - the family spokesman.

Mr Behn was not "insignificant"
In any case a televised funeral seems 'de trop' for a private citizen without any role in the life of a nation.
It is remarkable when Mr Behn's funeral will be televised. Princess Ragnhild of Norway, Princess Margaret of the United Kingdom, Prince Friso of the Netherlands, Prince Alexander of Belgium, all examples of funerals with the media on a distance. Now it is Saint Ari. Before and during his marriage he was ridiculed. Things can change fast...
Mr Behn was not "insignificant" in Scandinavia. He was quite popular and well known.
An individual does not necessarily need to be famous in Britain-or America-to be considered important.
And they don't have to come from the British Royal family to be considered signifcant either.
The only justification that is needed is that the family and citizens of Norway demand it.
NOT what I said - I said he was a minor author - If a poster from Norway on here cogently argues otherwise, then i'll retract it, until then i'll stand by that opinion, which I have garnered from some research into Mr Behns career.

Are you really serious? I agree with you it is distasteful to post sex life things online because it is of nobodys business and no one should care.love? it is highly distasteful to post details about your sex life online so i wouldn't call that love. love can be expressed in a number of ways but airing your intimacies ain't one of them.
"The people´s of Norways memories" are as long or short like everywhere else. And the 1960s are not the 21st century....!I am looking forward the King's Speach already done before Christmas. the suicide of Mr Behn will not change the Norvegians life.
But I think he is now like a Saint , if He says nothing they will critics.
I feel sorry for the King , He had to wait 10 years before he could marry Sonja Haraldson, and he allowed both of his Children Weddings who were critized at that time.
People of Norway has short memories ...as wrote someone before.

But doing this would be equivalent or even proof there was no love is absolutely nonsense!

[...] I never met Ari Behn. But everyone I know who met him had only good things to say about him – he was always friendly, warm and generous and included everyone. [...]
He was often ridiculed because of his big words and «Bohemian style» and was called «dandy» and a bit «self-centred» and other less flattering descriptions. [...]
The tabloids and many royalty-watchers have described him as a controversial person. He certainly created headlines over the years – his political statements and his comments on a former royal staff member's working conditions come among others to mind – but I have always felt that his «controversial behaviour» has been exaggerated. Granted, I have myself been quoted in the press as saying – with the institution of the royal house in mind – that he sometimes created «a bit too much noise». In general I think the headlines have just been mild ripples on the water, as I have also said earlier. The king and queen welcomed Ari into their arms and have always said how fond they were of him. Naturally they gave him freedom to form his career independent of the royal family. Everyone who knows something about the royal house also know that Ari never spoke on behalf of the institution, only on behalf of himself. [...]
If the Norwegians wish for it and the family have no objection I can't see why it should not happen.
Daniel will represent the Swedish royal family, NRK reports. Victoria will not be present.
Hmm intersting after all the reports Victoria dropped everything to be with ML. Unless one of the girls or ML isnt going to attend and Victoria is staying with them it seems they were wrong.
