Frederiksberg City Hall was the place to be on 25 May for Africa Day, an event at which many of the city’s diplomatic corp and members of the public gathered to enjoy great company, entertainment and the chance to sample delicacies from all over the continent. Organised by the Ugandan ambassador, Joseph Tomusange, the dean of the African countries, and Frederiksberg Council, it was a great day out for all who attended. (Photos: Hasse Ferrold)
