It was a most spectacular event. The tattoo was the celebration of the 350th anniversary of the Queens Royal Guard. It took place right in front of Rosenborg castle. The show had marching bands from all over Europe. Even the Russian President's Guards was in it. The guards, who have never been to a event outside Russia before, marched stretch like they do in front of the Kremlin. It's was a march unlike any other. And their timing was unique. I found some professional pictures from the event and the Russians. They can be found here.
The evening brought back a lot of memories. For Ellen it was a leap back in time to the days of the Tell City marching band. To me it was back to the 70's when Danish national TV had an annual broadcast of the Edinburgh tattoo which my mom and I always watched.
In the finale all 800 musicians came out and played Pirates of the Caribbean. It's one of Axel's favorite music pieces. So it was just perfect.
The show ended with the most spectacular fireworks. We all agreed that now we've also had our 4th of July fireworks.
