Denmark witnessed a historic transition on Sunday as Queen Margrethe abdicated the throne after a remarkable 52-year reign, making way for her son, King Frederik X. More than 100,000 Danes gathered in the streets of Copenhagen to witness the unprecedented event.
In a final procession through the capital in a horse-drawn carriage, the 83-year-old queen concluded her reign by signing a declaration of abdication at Christiansborg Palace. This marks the first abdication in Denmark in 900 years, automatically ushering in her son as the new monarch.
