Viktoria and Daniel's Loveboat

From Kungligt Bröllop
Together with Jessica, Johannes and Clara, I went to see the celebrations of the marriage between Crown Princess Viktoria and Mr Daniel Westling, now Prince Daniel. The city centre was completely possessed by the event, but in an unconcerned way. Apart from admiring the naval ships, we visited an exhibition with pictures by Annie Leibovitz. Eventually, we found our spot from where to peek at the betrothed; from the quay in Gamla Stan. It was the perfect place. From the 21 round salute fired from a painfully short distance, the beautiful couple in their rowboat, to the formation of 18 Swedish fighter jets passing overhead, we were all smiling, knowing we had witnessed a scene to remember.

Thanks for the report, your photo of the boat is way better than the one Dagens Nyheter managed to get!

Great pictures!! And it was a great day! Photographic museum, meeting uruguayan pals, getting a beer for every train we missed and sitting by the water to drink some tea and being accidentally cheered by the princes(s) and under the jets. Pretty cool!
