BT reports that Prince Henrik is invited to take part in an international bridge tournament, that will take place in Copenhagen on 21st February.

Here 20 of the worlds best bridge players will take part and Prince Henrik has been invited because he is so fond of bridge.

Article: Prinsgemalen er klar til endnu en bridgedyst mod Gus Hansen - Royale | www.bt.dk

This is the second time this tournament will be held in DK.
The special thing is that you can place a bid on some of the players, Prince Henrik is however not one of them. And the highest bidder will get the one he/she bid on as a bridge partner.
Prince Henrik's partner is French, Thomas Bessis.

Spectators are known as "owls", - so I've already learned something new today.

TV2 reports that Prince Henrik is in Vietnam these days. http://nyhederne.tv2.dk/article.php/...m.html?forside

Riding scooters among other things.
He also visited the home of his childhood.

I hope we get pictures of the tournament. Will this be the first time he has been invited & to play in the tournament?

[Muhler]

No, this is the second time. - And I'm in no doubt he will enjoy himself.

Thanks Fairy Tale & Iceflower

Are they reciting the Lords Prayer or something like that with their hands? Why not? The thought of a service for deaf has never even occured to me.
Perhaps FasterB has some remarks to add?

Are you asking at photo 18 in the TV2 Gallery? I think it´s either The Lords Prayer or the Credo (trosbekendelse)

I can´t remember how these two looks like, though I have sunged to a few deafservices in my early days as churchsinger Oh yes, there was choir and music and guess who made most noise? Us musicians or the deaf?

Can't wait to see the Blue Planet; it's great that the regent couple's fond has been one of it's main sponsors.

A deepfelt sigh though - the regent couple recently got a new puppy didn't they? Why, oh why, could that little fella not find that .... hat .... and rip it to pieces? It would be doing us all such a great service and we would forever be in it's debt!
