King Frederik and Queen Mary delighted crowds as they visited Vejle on the final day of their summer tour.
The royal couple have been sailing around Danish municipalities on the Royal Ship Dannebrog, visiting Bornholmes, Ærø and Assens over the last four days.
In Vejle, Frederik and Mary had an iconic moment at the town hall as they waved to well-wishers.
They then met residents and children at Kong Gauer's Gård – Denmark's first fully integrated care home and daycare centre, before heading for an official lunch at Fjordenhus.
On each evening of their tour, the royals have hosted a reception on board the Royal Ship for invited guests from each municipality.
Take a look at the best photos from their final day…

Frederik and Mary arrived at Vejle harbour on the Royal Ship Dannebrog, which was first commissioned in 1932. The yacht serves as an official and private residence for the Danish royals when they are on overseas visits and summer cruises in Danish waters. The King sported his military uniform while the Queen opted for a nautical-themed look with a cropped navy coat, a patterned blouse and a polka-dot A-line skirt.
