It’s just as well that Queen Margarethe didn’t go to Fakta (left) on her birthday last Thursday (see pages 9 and 18 for more details), or the school children from Rygaards International School might have missed out on seeing her from their exclusive balcony at the Hotel D’Angleterre – and to think most people normally wait to see her majesty on a balcony, not the other way round. They were treated to sandwiches, cake and hot chocolate while they waited, sporting a wide range of flags that reflected their international diversity.
