On 1 April, it is 75 years since the resistance movement's efforts during World War II and the fight for freedom resulted in the formation of a national home guard. For 75 years, the Home Guard has helped to look after Denmark and secure the country's freedom.

King Frederik ran past

Before today's event at the Freedom Museum, King Frederik was spotted running past wearing a hat and with a dog by his side.

Svend Erik Nørklit from the Home Guard tells BT that there was a joke among the Home Guard volunteers whether it was Queen Mary who had sent the King out to inspect the place.

Svend Erik Nørklit has previously been in the life guard and adds that in this connection he has met King Frederik several times.
