Celebrate HM The King's 80th birthday!

The 80th birthday of HM The King Carl XVI Gustaf is celebrated with a programme centered around the Royal Palace; the day begins with a Te Deum service in the Royal Chapel, followed by a military guard of honour on the courtyard, and continues with a cannon salute and flypast over the city, while the public gathers along Lejonbacken, Norrbro and Slottsbacken for a choral tribute and music—overall, it is a compact programme where several elements take place within walking distance, making it easy to follow different parts of the day to celebrate.
