there's a reception tonight in akeshus, does that mean that foreign royalty is already there to attend the event or can they show up later on?
i really cant wait for the gala!
not too fond of mette marit's "hat" (if it can be called a hat). she wore some lovely pieces that weren't hats but were absolutely delightful, but this one is far to simple and looks like one of those some people wear to go to the gym... :(
i loved martha louise's. looks superb.

Today's celebration at Akershus (the fortress) is meant for the Norwegians. Foreign guests will arrive on Friday and Saturday, with a birthday party in the Royal Palace as main event.

Princess Martha Louise's husband is looking a bit on the greasy/scruffy side.
I hope he cleans himself up better for the formal gala than he did in today's pics.:dry:
As for the King, IMO, he looks still very frail. As if he has never fully recovered from his heart problems that he had last year.
I'm glad that he is better, and I do hope he has recovered from his ailments, I just wished he looked healthier.
In either case-Happy Birthday! May he live a long and healthy life. 
That is some fur the Queen is wearing!

Happy Birthday to King Harald, may he enjoy many more!
A question- has he completely recovered from the cancer & heart operation he had? He certainly looks well!

I was wondering what the song was that the young lady sang at the unveiling of the statue of King Harold's mother.
Would anyone know?

note:the sculpture stands in front of a temporary work of art made of 100 tons of ice,a gift from norwegian artists.
With todays temperature in Oslo,min 12 Celsius,I suppose it will remain there for a while...

Wonderful pictures thank you to everyone who has posted. IMO it had to be Mette-Marit's dress that wins in the fashion stakes she was stunning!
One question- when will the other royal families begin to arrive?
