The birthday of Queen Margrethe II (b. 1940) is observed in the capital city of 
Copenhagen, where people congregate in the courtyard of Amalienborg, the royal palace.

Carrying small Danish flags, children cheer and sing for the Queen, refusing to go home 
until she comes out to greet them. 

She often appears on the balcony at lunchtime and makes a speech, which is followed by a 
changing of the Royal Guard in its scarlet dress uniforms.
