The most important events then and now include the king's speech and the response of the president of the Storting.
The castle dinner takes place in the Great Dining Room, and the approximately 225 guests include many representatives of the Norwegian public.
The rhythm and essence of the dinner is the same as in the old days, however - informs the royal house - the menu is no longer exclusively in French, as it was in the first years, and cigars are no longer served after the meal.
