THE... CHINA. MAIL, SATURDAY, JUNE 1, 1987..
COPENHAGEN — third Royal Progress of Britain's Queen and Prince Philip this year, took them to Denmark" where King Frederik and Queen Ingrid them- selves supervised rehearsals for a round of family hospitality and State pagean- try. The spontaneous nationwide re- joicing with which the people received their guests nooded no rehearsal. But in all that proceeded and in all that went to make the Royal week there was an air of expectancy.
Whether it was Queen Ingrid hurrying alone across a deserted Copenhagen square on Sunday morning to a last- minute conference with the palace staff; or whether it was the Britannia's barge racing Queen Elizabeth and Prince Philip ashore from the Royal Yacht; or whether it was a glimpse of a dazzling British Queen before the State banquet at Amalienborg Palace... the air of expectation and of a close friendship between two pooples was brought down to terms as firmly founded as a family reunion, as easily pictured as the family portrait above.
