Thousands of Danes have bid farewell to Denmark’s late Prince Henrik, husband of Queen Margrethe, whose casket is on public display in a Copenhagen chapel until a private funeral next week.
Draped in a Danish flag with his personal coat of arms, the coffin stood on a catafalque surrounded by a guard of honour — eight military officers — inside the chapel of the Christiansborg Palace as people silently walked past on Saturday.
Earlier in the day, royals briefly visited the chapel from where a private funeral will be held on Tuesday.
Last year, he stunned Danes when he said he did not want to be buried next to Margrethe as is the tradition.
