here is a blog i follow daily http://bykamillaborg.dk/starstrucked...rinsesse-mary/
a little bit fun because the blogger and her kids were in fælledparken to fri for mobberi relay. so read it if you want a little bit from someone who attend the relay in real life. The fun part is the bloggers reaction when she saw mary. i will post this because i think it is funny that it is exactly the same reaction as mine when i met mary last year. the blogger writes that she stand there, ready with her camera and finally mary arrive and she was totally startrucked of her beauti and aura :-) and i remember it so very well, mary is sure beautiful and sweet in photos, but it not makes justifice to how beautiful she is in real life, she has a wonderful aura and warm around her and she gives a BIG smile to all. and this is why many only have photos of mary from behind then she has walked past you, haha :-) you simply forget to takes photos while she is near you :-) :-)

Summary of article in Billed Bladet #25, 2013.
Mary var så stolt - Mary was so proud.
Written by our running reporter Malan Vincent Joensen.

There are two relays in DK in connection with Free from Bullying. One in Aarhus on 8th June and the one Mary attended on the 15th.
Surrounded by a huge crowd and with children almost queueing up to get a medal and some praise from Mary it was a lovely day with 1.600 children running. Among them Christian, who got a medal and a big hug from mother. Mary asked him whether it had been a good experience for him, before she handed out more medals.
Christian also got a hug from the Free From Bullying mascot.

Mary explained afterwards: "I was proud. I thought he passed the finishing line quickly and that was nice to see. He had looked very, very much forward (to the relay). Isabella isn't here this year, but perhaps she'll surprise me and attend next year - as Christian surprised me this year.
He came home one day and told me he had signed up for the Free from Bullying Race. His school, Tranegårdsskolen, has worked with the Free From Bullying programme for quite some time, so I was very positively surprised. He has been allowed to take part with some other classmates today and that's really good.
I just managed to say congratulations and ask if it had been a good experience. I'm sure I'll hear much more when I come home".

After the relay Mary tattoed some of the children at a tent. - Not to worry, just a sticker-tattoo...

---

And Roskilde, being eight months pregnant is no excuse for not running the relay. You should have let yourself be transported up to Mary in a wheelborrow. - Mary would hardly have noticed, I'm sure.

[Roskilde]

Thank you, Muhler.

BB has some lovely pictures in their reportage and I will make a little scan of two of them (sorry for the bad quality)

And no doubt that Mary shoned like the sun that day.
HerogNu has the interview too, but some other parts of it, so I will post those parts BB didn't have in their interview.

Question: How was it to put the medal around the neck of your son?
Mary: It was great, and it was great to give each of the other children who came over the finish line medal. They have all done their best. I just managed to say congratulations to Christian and hear if it had been a good experience and I looked very much forward to come home and hear him talk about the day. I'm proud of him, and he surprised me by coming so quickly across the finish line.

Mary told that it was Christian himself who has taken the initiative to participate in the run. - He came home from school one day and said he had signed up for the race. Tranegårdskolen where he goes, has long worked with Free For Bullying, and he ran along with many of his friends from school. It's such a lovely day today, because there are 1,600 children who say no to bullying. The number of participants is record, not just here in Copenhagen, but also in Aarhus, so it is fantastic. And although they have promised rain yesterday, the sun shines today. So yes, it's a beautiful day, said Crown Princess after the medal ceremony.

Well, at least they didn't tie their legs together. - Then they would have resembled our current national team...

You're not alone Muhler, my husband sitting right beside me staring into our TV screen with a rather hopeless look on his face

The picture captions says...

- that some of the children was overheard saying "Oh, she's so nice. She's so pretty in reality"

- that Mary was more unsteady on her feet than Frederik, who revealed that he has trained football a few years as a child

- that Mary in her speech said: "In our family means sport, that many of you maybe know, a lot. Through sport we create a world of games, adventures and friendships

[Muhler]

The word "fidus" is tricky to translate.

It can mean a scam (like selling the engine in a used car as "extra equipment"), a cunning plan (as in Blackadder), an idea to circumnavigate something (like taxes. The word skattefidus =tax-fidus is very common), something you've worked out, or simply a better way to do something with at least effort to you as possible.

In this context I think the concept can be translated to the "Club-scam". And being a nation of used-horse-sellers this has a quirky humour behind it and as such is seen as a positive thing.

It's lovely seeing them on the job together, I feel it's been so long since I saw them together working that I was getting withdrawal symptoms

But seriously it looks like they enjoyed themselves enormously and probably made those kids day, and in love as always
