I'm delighted there is a live clip you can watch outside DK.
The CP family has just arrived, Mary, but also very much Isabella, and Josephine too, looking very stylish.
You will be in for a treat when the photos surface.
The guests at this event are all from associations and organizations that Mary work with or for whom she is a patron.
--------------
The actual show will start in five minutes.
-------------
Wonderful! The children talk.
Christian admire his mother for what she does.
Vincent is happy that he can tell her secrets.
Isabella says that they sometimes tease their mother, when she mispronounce Danish words. - With Mary of course being adamant that she is right. (Seemingly the children haven't seen through that one yet.)
Can't remember what Josephine said.
-------------
Greetings from the various protections.
-------------
The children explain that their mother is very focused when preparing her work and that it has to be perfect.
And also that when she returns from trips abroad like Africa, she tells her children about, meaning that they appreciate how well we are here in DK.
And then the little rascals make a little fun of her pronunciations - see above.
-----
The dude who is sitting on the stage howling, is singing... an interpretation of the unofficial and third national anthem, written by HC Andersen. - Perhaps a spotlight will drop on him and free us from more misery...
-----------------
The pretty girl, met Mary when she was visiting a Christmas Seal Home. Here children and young with low self-esteem are rebuild - and for her, this was a new beginning. A new beginning free from loneliness.
--------
Josephine says Mary gives them a lot of love. And she's pretty good at singing. She can sing sorta old-fashioned songs. And she can kinda dance-like.
Vincent: She's pretty good at dancing.
Christian: She's good a playing the air guitar.
Isabella: She's good on drums and can't help drumming if she gets near some.
Vincent: Some says she's old, but she really isn't at all.
----------
It's tradition that after the first flight in an F-16 is thrown into the fire-pond.
----
Another song, another example of cat-pining-pop.
-----------
Mary was praised for being very empathic and for being exceptionally present, when talking to people and for getting people to trust her and open up, even on topics that are painful and traumatic.
--------------------
The children talked about Mary being very aware of the climate and environment. They don't have plastic utensils for example.
Christian has realized that he too can make a difference.
She is also very fond of animals, not least horses! She visit her horses on a daily basis, not necessarily to ride them, the children observes.
She complains that she's the only one who walks Grace, but that's not true, Vincent points out, he too walks Grace - from time to time.
-----------
Vegemite is an acquired taste, it appears...
--------------
Okay, that's it.
While the praise of Mary was fully deserved I think it was a bit over the top for comfort for a Dane/Australian.
And we got the Royal Run from F where all citizens can participate and became a new tradition
