Join us for a talk about the history of the Danish hospital ship MS Jutlandia.

The Jutlandia served as a freight and passenger vessel, was bombed by the RAF and served as a royal yacht.

It also served as a UN hospital ship in the Korean War.

Happy National Day! 🇸🇪

Today is a day in blue and yellow!

Sweden's National Day stems from two historic events: On 6 June 1523, Gustav Vasa was elected king and Sweden re-claimed independence. On 6 June 1809, a new constitution was adopted.

Yesterday, the Danish Embassy in London celebrated 175 years of Danish democracy. 🇩🇰
The Constitution Day anniversary was hosted by Ambassador H.E. René Dinesen at the residence in London and included highlights such as a speech given by British-Danish Sandi Toksvig, OBE.
