Comments

1. Lena: the procession through the cathedral was incredibly moving somehow
2. Talia: beautiful ceremony, but what i appreciate even more is the way norway's handling this transition - no drama or power struggle, just a seamless handover of duties. true leadership
3. Noraholtxo: The somber procession was a fitting tribute to King Harald's long reign - really impressive security detail though, expected more discreetness from Norway
4. Cipher Comet: Felt like a sombre reflection on global leadership when they all showed up, though
5. Leorossixo: surprised to see so many leaders making time for it, not that I'm a monarchist or anything
6. Frost Kite: who knew all these heads of state could make it on short notice?
