It’s now a tradition that the first sunday in advent is the lighting of the tree in the Copenhagen town hall square.
This years tree is approx 21m tall, weighs 8 tons and is adorned with 700 lights and 100 christmas hearts from Børnenes Kontor.
15:00 The event starts in Nyhavn with the fire brigade traditional Christmas procession.
15.40 The ladder truck will arrive with Santa Claus in Rådhuspladsen.
16:00 The tree will be lit.

Well it’s clear to me – Best Moustache 2013 – belongs to the newly presented Butchers & Bicycles Mk 1 , although I suspect they used more than a month in the cultivation!!!
There will be more Mo judging and celebrations at the Bremen Teater Gala Parté tomorrow night!
So…I need some help with this Copenhagen image!
It’s an illustration of the lighting at the lakes – I have searched but can’t find any information – Are these Københavns Kommune designed? or is there a named designer? Does anyone know?
Today The Royal Library is opening the doors of the library on Fiolstræde , for a special guided, one hour tour. The Neo Gothic, red brick, italian style building was designed by architect Johan Herhold and completed in 1861. This was the first building in Denmark to have a structural system of cast iron.
