The queen of Denmark has marked her golden jubilee at a Camden church service.
Queen Margrethe II attended the Danish Church of St Katharine for a service to honour 50 years since her accession to the throne on January 14, 1972.
The 82 year-old smiled and waved to well-wishers as she arrived at the church.
Organisers said the service was a chance to thank her for a chasuble – the outer garment worn by clergy during services – she designed and embroidered for the church community in 2020.
Queen Margrethe has strong links to St Katharine’s and her parents King Frederik and Queen Ingrid attended its inauguration in Regent’s Park.
She last visited the church in 2019 while making her designs for the chasuble, using inspiration including the building’s mosaic glass and colours related to the Danish and British flags.
