'The Tog' - Norwegian Constitution Day

We took part in the annual Norwegian Constitution Day parade or 'the Tog'.

It is a celebration of Norwegian independence.

There were visitors from Norway, as part of celebrations arranged by the Orkney Norway Friendship Association and Orkney Islands Council. Celebrations began at 10.30am with a short memorial service at the Norwegian war graves in St Olaf’s Cemetery, followed by a medal presentation ceremony and concert in St Magnus Cathedral.

Leaving the pier.

Up the street to the cathedral.

One of the guests was First Secretary of the Royal Norwegian Embassy in London, Gøril Johansen.
