Constitution Day is the anniversary of the signing of the Danish constitution of 1849, which established Denmark as a constitutional monarchy. The day of celebration also includes the Constitution of 1953, which was adopted on the same date.

The 2015 edition of this momentous day was held on the lawns of the residence of H.E. Mr. Ole E. Moesby, the Ambassador and his spouse. It is surprising to find oases that exude tranquility in the heart of the city of The Hague, but the residential lawns managed to do just that. It was a very warm sunny day, and the chilled Danish beverages and ice cream quenched the thirst of the numerous attendees.
This year, in 2015, Denmark celebrates the 100th anniversary of the amendment of the Danish Constitution that gave women the right to vote and stand for election. Denmark was one of the first nations in the world to do so.
Ambassador Moesby can look back on yet another successful Constitution Day, and we all look forward to next year’s as well!
