Happy National Day! 🇸🇪 Today is a day in blue and yellow! Sweden's National Day stems from two historic events: On 6 June 1523, Gustav Vasa was elected king and Sweden re-claimed independence. On 6 June 1809, a new constitution was adopted. 📷: Ola Ericson/imagebank.sweden.se

Yesterday, the Danish Embassy in London celebrated 175 years of Danish democracy. 🇩🇰 The Constitution Day anniversary was hosted by Ambassador H.E. René Dinesen at the residence in London and included highlights such as a speech given by British-Danish Sandi Toksvig, OBE.
