Denmark’s Queen Margrethe II rounded off celebrations marking her 50th year on the throne on Saturday, and was joined by her family despite a recent public row with her youngest son.
The 82-year-old monarch took a carriage ride through Copenhagen and attended a ceremony at city hall.
The two events had been postponed after the death in September of Britain’s Queen Elizabeth II, her third cousin.
Now Europe’s only reigning queen, Margrethe waved from the city hall balcony, greeting a crowd of about 1,500 people in the capital’s main square
