And this is just a cut out from a few hours of celebrating our national day here in Norway - usually it is at least a couple of hours this continue to happened - school after school - from all over Oslo (our capital) celebrating the national day and eat tonnes of hot-dogs and ice cream after this happening - often in the local school where it is a lot of games, and of course corps are playing the national Anthem Ja vi Elsker. And the marching bands are busy playing all over the country - And you are right about the US navy marsh Anchors away - it is often played by th marching bands for some reason....

And the horses at the beginning of the film - it is the police horses who live near, more or less in the shadows of the wall of the old Fortress Akershus - who have been where the police horses have been situated for more than a century by now - and it have been a long standing traditions that the Police is part of the 17 of may - with the horses - and a brass band - you can se it as one of the first ones beside the royal guard who are in the front of it all by tradition..

And it is the time of year we, Norwegians often dress up in our finest customers - that be in national customers - like Bunads - or in more regular suits to celebrate the day - kids are most often also dressed up in customers - to celebrate the whole thing - and it is in most cases a children's day - where you have both the more sollum national speeches - and the anthem and so one - but also the part where you celebrate it with playing around - and of course - you have the tedious dinner where you have your grandparents, uncles, and many others to celebrate the day with you...
