Queen Margrethe has reigned for 50 years
Queen Margrethe ascended the throne on 14 January 1972 following the death of her father, King Frederick IX, becoming the first female Danish sovereign under the new Act of Succession.
Plans to mark the 50th year of her reign have been scaled back because of the pandemic, but bigger celebrations are planned for September 2022.
