King Frederik and Queen Mary engaged in a rare PDA as the Danish royals enjoyed a romantic stroll along Oslo's harbour front on the final day of their state visit to Norway.
The engagement was a focus on the architecture where Frederik, 55, and Mary, 52, viewed a new sustainable urban development, but they exchanged loving looks and plenty of smiles as they walked along the waterfront.
The couple cut a stylish figure with Mary in an effortlessly chic ensemble comprising of a crisp white shirt, a navy midi skirt, a straw hat and Chanel pumps, while Frederik opted for a tan jacket and blue trousers.
Their outing came the day after they celebrated their 20th wedding anniversary on 14 May, which coincided with a gala dinner at the Royal Palace in Oslo.
Take a look at the sweetest photos from one of their final engagements...

They were not joined on the state visit by their children, with Crown Prince Christian, 18, acting as regent in his father's absence. Christian and his younger siblings, Princess Isabella, 17, and 13-year-old twins, Prince Vincent and Princess Josephine are still in education.

You gave up a lot that was safe and familiar. You made Denmark and the Danes your own heartland and heartland. I know that you have also been a great support for our beloved Queen Margrethe.
"Just today the two of you have been married for 20 years - surely that deserves a round of applause? We think it's very nice that you chose to celebrate your wedding anniversary here with us tonight!"
