The Danish Parliament’s official celebration of the anniversary of The Queen’s reign took place in the Landsting Chamber at Christiansborg Palace. Upon arrival, the members of the Royal Family signed the visitor’s book before they were seated in the Landsting Chamber with the other invited guests. The celebration began with a speech by the speaker of the Danish Parliament, Henrik Dam Kristensen. Afterwards, prime minister Mette Frederiksen congratulated The Queen for the jubilee and presented the gift from the Danish Parliament and the government to Her Majesty. The gift is decorative pavement artwork, which will symbolize the ties between the Faroe Islands, Greenland and Denmark. The work will be installed at the North Atlantic House cultural center in Copenhagen, which has a special significance for the Faroes, Greenland and Denmark. Among other things, this is the place where the Faroe Islands and Greenland delegations in Denmark are located. The artwork will be created by the artists Hansina Iversen from the Faroes, Jessie Kleemann from Greenland and Gudrun Hasle from Denmark, and it is expected to be completed at the beginning of 2023.
