Norway celebrated its National Day on May 17 with various events, including a wreath-laying ceremony at St Olavs Norwegian Church and Southwark Park. Labour MP Neil Coyle and Ambassador Hattem joined the festivities, with large crowds enjoying the day. The celebration included traditional attire like the bunad, and the king of Norway waved to a parade of children. The event was marked by patriotism and joy, with people in Norway and even in Seattle participating in the festivities.

Absolutely elite pull by @TronCarterNLU on the ESPN2 broadcast that today is Constitution Day in Norway. The one time I went to Oslo, it happened to be on that day (unbeknownst to me before the trip) and it was wild. Just an all day drunk fest through the entire city center.
