A post from the Danish Royal Family's Instagram showed the Royal Family dressed in proper military attire as they attended this event.

The caption of the post read in English, "The dome hall at Fredensborg Castle was in the centre of a festive table 🍽️ The occasion was something very special. For on this day in 1945 Christian 10.
