Mary's naming of the new vessel is of course covered on the Navy Home Guard site:
Hjemmeværnet - HOLGER DANSKE
Summary of the article Holger Danske, written by Ninna Falck.
No less than six Navy Home Guard vessels had lines up, decorated with banners and flags for this festive occasion.
Mary - and the rain, arrived escorted by military police on motor bikes, to be recieved by the mayor of Kalundborg, the head of the Home Guard, major general Finn Winkler and the head of the Navy Home Guard, kommandør = Commodore Jens Walther.
After inspecting the honor guard it was time for speech by the commodore, before Mary entered the rostrum.
Mary was not supposed to give a speech, she was supposed to name the vessel and that is always done with a few well chosen words: "Her Majesty the Queen has resolved (*) that this Navy Home Guard vessel shall carry the name Holger Danske".
Mary then congratulated the vessel and her crew and called for a three cheers for Holger Danske and her crew.
Mary then boarded the vessel and after a tour, they sailed. Especially invited guests were also onboard, among them two veterans from the resistance group Holger Danske.
The whole thing ended with a reception, with additional speeched and entertainment by the Female Sailors (**) Music Corps of the Navy Home Guard.
There is also clip from the regional news:
Mary døbte skib | TV2 ØST
Notice at 01.08, where Mary is inspecting the honor guard. The band is playing the Colour March, which is also a salute, in this case to Mary.
The children at the very end of the clip are patiently waiting for Mary to return from her trip with the new vessel. One of them tried out Mary's chair. - It was soft.
(*) Notice the archaic expression "resolved". Charming isn't it? QMII approves all names and crests for all new navy ships and Navy Home Guard vessels. As such she really do "resolve" the name.
(**) Denmark has never had a marine corps. Soldiers serving onboard ships were from the army. As such a marine (mariner) in Danish means a sailor serving in the navy and not a marine infantry man.
It looked to me like this was very much a novel experience for Mary and she seem slightly hesitant at times. She has taken part in military ceremonial before, but always with Frederik or the rest of the DRF. Here she was playing the main part, and there she suddenly was surrounded by military traditions, ceremonial and officers who know each other.
