Helllloooo! Do you have a supply of birthday cake at the ready? I hope so.
This is an open post, which means it's a space to chat for anyone who wants to watch the events of Queen Margrethe's 75th birthday celebrations live, or who is itching to discuss before my posts go up. This post will be the open post for both days of events.
Below is the official schedule, which I also included on Sunday's post. Some small time changes have been made, but the biggest change is that Prince Henrik is out with the flu, and unfortunately won't be able to participate in the festivities.
TV2 and DR1 are broadcasting events. Please share tips to watch in the comments too!
