Weren't other members of the royal family attending?

[Artemisia]

They are present:
Prince Joachim, Princess Mary and Prince Frederik

More pictures should be available soon.

[Fanvanmaxima]

AH thanks. Princess Mary looks great.

It looks like Marie is the woman in blue on the left of Joachim.

She is; you can see a bit of Marie in this picture.
I have to say, so far I like Camilla's ensemble most. She does look quite stunning.

Your link does not open, even when refreshed.
And there in an alternative picture in the link Nico posted, BILLEDSERIE: Camilla og Charles til middag på Amalienborg - dr.dk/Nyheder/Billedserier, which shows a quarter of Marie.

It opened for me, but I re-hosted it just in case; you should be able to view it now.
Thanks for the alternative picture.

Artemisia's link works fine for me.

Everyone looks well, not sure about QMII's necklace with that dress. QMII suits the sleeker, slimmer fit, I don't see why she wears so many dresses with the kind of full skirts that Queen Victoria would recognise. She's got a good figure, she should make the most of it.

Today's galleries get updated with the evening pics as well!

Both Charles and Camilla looked like they were fond of meeting Sofie Gråbøl

Half an hour ago, while the royals were enjoying the dinner a minor fire broke out in the basement. Brand p Amalienborg under festmiddag - TV 2 Nyhederne
It turned out that a service lift had overheated and triggered the firealarm.
The firebrigade was soon there and dealt with the situation, which was very trivial.
The guests continued their dinner undisturbed a couple of floors up.

There must be something with the firealarms at Amalienborg and the BRF.
When will and Kate visited last year, a firealarm also went off during their lunch. - Perhaps a poltergeist is at play?

Notice the guards in the background of this clip. As always when an alarm is sounded, the guards are up in arms.

ADDED: More from BT: http://www.bt.dk/danmark/alarm-brand-paa-amalienborg
No less than four firealarms were triggered. Three fire engines were dispatched. Smoke and minor flames had erupted. The fire captain, decided it wasn't necessary to alarm, let alone disturb the guests.
While the dinner continued, the windows were opened for ventilation and to remove the smell of the smoke.

I wonder if Camilla got to see one of Sarah Lund's famous jumpers up close? That would've been a nifty gift.

[Tarlita]

Goodness me another fire with visitors close by. As you say a poltergeist or maybe a Gremlin at work here. Ha Ha. Prss Benedikte looked lovely as always at the gala dinner. I love this room it is grand without a lot of gilt. Mary could have worn her wedding tiara as a diamond necklace.

A great video of the royals welcoming guests, thanks to Stig on the SRMB.

Some fine reporting on the tour from the British media.

Prince Charles have more than 400 protections, most of them charities. That is not so much the tradition here in DK. - The state takes care of that.
But in contrast to the BRF, the DRF, not least Frederik, is used extensively as door openers for Danish commerce. Working very closely with Danish trade delegations at official visits.
Another contrast which was pointed out is that M&F are extremely popular here in DK, and while QMII is immensely respected, a large segement of the Danes would M&F to take over, tomorrow or earlier if possible.
While in Britain a large segment of the Britons are not that eager for C&C to take over.

thank you Muhler. I enjoy reading the comparisons, different countries have different roles for their royals.

I think Frederik and Mary are doing a great job in Denmark and for Denmark. and that is what matters

[Tarlita]

Enjoyed the video of the arrivals and have to say some of the curtsies by the ladies look quite comical even though they are trying hard. I am sure I would look quite comical too trying to curtsey to so many.
