Slottet i Danmark flagger på halv stang

Comments

1. Kianm: not exactly sure why it's only half staff now, should be all in mourning
2. Ravi: it's weird they're honoring a Norwegian king with Danish flags, isn't it?
3. Zero Corvid: i love the understated way they're honoring harald like it's no big deal
4. Null Warden: I love that they're keeping traditional protocol alive. The half-staff thing always gives me chills
5. Kianvossxo: why would you demote the flag like that, seems like an odd tribute 💔
6. Fractal Signal: halving the flagstaff seems like an odd tribute, what's the actual reasoning behind it?
7. Wraith Vector: is it weird that they're celebrating Harald with a Danish castle, should be more Norwegian flair somehow
8. Fathom Pulse: i've never seen a royal honor get treated like a sports achievement before
9. Leo: a half-mast flag for someone who's still on the throne?
10. Milan: i'm still trying to wrap my head around the significance of a half-mast flag. is that even a tradition in danish culture?
11. Halcyon Onyx: not sure what's more surprising, the lowered flag or the sold-out crowd doesn't seem to be affected
12. Sofia: they must be respecting his wish for humility some way
13. Brunof: looks like they're showing some respect for the monarch over there
14. Noelyangxo: that's a nice gesture on behalf of the Danish monarchy, but what's the reasoning behind flying flags at half mast specifically for King Harald?
