When HM The Queen gives the New Year’s address from the Garden Room at Fredensborg Palace on 31 December 2015, the Life Guard’s tradition-rich honour ceremony takes place in the Inner Palace Yard at Fredensborg Palace.
 
The Life Guard’s honour ceremony commences immediately before the New Year’s address, when the Guardsmen on watch, with rifles to their sides, stand at attention with colours and two tambours while the address is delivered. After Her Majesty The Queen’s New Year’s address, “King Christian stood by the lofty mast” is played. The Life Guard presents arms, which are saluted, and the colours are retired.

At Fredensborg Palace, the Outer Palace Yard will be open to the public, and large screens will be set up by the TV stations to show the broadcast of the New Year’s address. This year, there will not be special arrangements on Amalienborg Palace Square on the occasion of the New Year’s address.
