"During DR's coverage of the celebratory service, Anne Agerskov, organist and cantor in Aarhus Cathedral, said that Queen Mary herself has chosen a hymn to be performed in the church.

 

Queen Mary has chosen the British anthem "Eternal Father, Strong to Save", which, according to DR, was also performed at Queen Mary's mother's funeral and at the then Crown Prince Frederik and Mary Donaldson's wedding in 2004."

"Bishop Henrik Wigh-Poulsen's sermon is now underway, and he talks about starting a new job with expectations.

That you can "stand there on the balcony" and feel alone with yourself.

 

- Then you have to remember that you are standing there because you are needed. You have been given a task and you have something you have to do. You are called upon, says the bishop. - It is a privilege to be called upon, Henrik Wigh-Poulsen continues."

 

"May you, our king, experience our call to you, our connectedness to you, and may we experience your call to us and your connectedness to us, your people, in the past, present and future."
