Tens of thousands line the streets as Norway bids farewell to King Harald V

Norway concluded 13 days of national mourning with ceremonies bidding farewell to King Harald V, who died at age 89. Tens of thousands lined the streets of Oslo for the funeral procession, which proceeded from the royal palace to the cathedral. European royals, including Prince William and King Felipe, along with global political figures, attended the service. Speaker Masud Gharahkhani and Prime Minister Jonas Gahr Støre remembered the king as a reformer who balanced stateliness with being down-to-earth. Following the service, four F-35 jets flew overhead, with one breaking away to symbolize the king's passing, before his casket was taken to the Akershus fortress for a private burial. Despite recent scandals, the monarchy remains broadly popular in Norway.
