Copenhagen, Denmark - The Queen's Band

While walking with my host yesterday to see the Royal Palace he heard music and said "That's the Queen's band!". So we ran through the park to catch them. My host, Peter, is born and raised in Denmark and said he has never seen the Queen's band so this was an exciting impromptu moment for both of us. He looked it up and they were marching from the palace after the changing of the guard because the Queen was home. 

For those who don't know Denmark is a monarchy. Even though the Queen doesn't have any power (the Prime Minister & Parliament have most of the power - similar to Britain) they still respect her. Her name is Queen Margrethe II and she's the first female monarch in Denmark ruling since 1972.
