Frederik is going to Aarhus to plant an oak-tree on 31. October.
https://jyllands-posten.dk/aarhus/EC...geeg-i-aarhus/
The tree is 12 meters high and will be planted at Frederik's plads (square) in a relatively new part of central Aarhus.
Very close to the local unemployment office BTW. With the unemployment rate being so low, perhaps they couldn't find anyone to dig the hole for the tree, so they called in Frederik?
Amazing what royals are used for.

Possibly because Royals have more experience than anyone else. I hope he doesn't aggravate his back condition tho.
Usually the local council turn the soil over before hand to make it easier I believe. They do so here in case the ground is rock hard.
Imagine Frederick swinging a pick axe for instance. Ha!
Will you go to watch?

If I can get away from the phone for a few hours I will.
Well, it's located in a part of Aarhus that was a part of the main railway station, so perhaps an engine is buried there...
IIRC it right around where a locomotive was neatly placed on top of a building by the blast, when an ammunition ship exploded in Aarhus harbor during WWII.
I've seen photos of that locomotive. It looks like someone had picked it up and carefully placed it on top of a building!
Several members of my family experienced that explosion first hand.

Wow that's a really interesting story. An ammunition ship blast would make a hell of mess for sure.

Is Prince Frederick bringing any of his family to the Invictus Games?

 no, it will be only Frederik. Mary has other events this week.
Article on Frederik's support for veterans and Invictus games
https://www2.forsvaret.dk/nyheder/ov...esiSydney.aspx
"I think it confirms the Crown Prince's personal commitment to the rehabilitation of the veterans.*...*And I know from my talks with the veterans that there is a strong motivation factor for them that the Crown Prince shows their interest"
"I have run with the Crown Prince at Royal Run and when he trained with DIF Soldier Project in the spring and I think it is wonderful that the Crown Prince gives us so much to veterans and that he is there for us in our fight against the injuries"

The Palace shared a first photo of Frederik (and a Danish silver medal winner) at the Invictus Games:

Troels Kløvedal is in Danish context a household face. He's a true globetrotter and has made many docus about his countless travels.
It's good to see that he is honored while he i still alive. He is, alas, dying after having lived a full and rich life. - And that's the worst epitaph to have, is it?
