After a procession carrying King Harald's coffin from the Royal Palace to Oslo Cathedral, there was a ceremony, a very moving ceremony for an hour it lasted.
That started with a minute of silence which was held nationwide and then memorial speeches took place.
Now
Some speeches were from the President of Parliament who said that King Harold wasn't afraid to meet people with his wellies on, referring to times where the symbol of unity went to victims of attacks or went to times or places where people needed him most.
He was seen as a symbol of unity and stability during times of upheaval.
He then went on to say that the king lived up to his slogan.
That slogan is everything for Norway.
And that is something that has been repeated throughout the 13 days of mourning now since the late king passed away, that he gave everything for his country.
Even during times of ill health, he refused to abdicate because he said...
He took the oath to be king for life.
The ceremony concluded.
It was a very touching moment when the now widowed Queen Sonia Lear rose down on his coffin, wiping away tears.
Immediate family members were very close to the coffin, but the cathedral was full.
It normally has a capacity of about 800, but it was extended to more than 1,000 to mark this very special occasion, the first state funeral ever.
since 1991 so a very grand occasion filled with mourning and a lot of sorrow but also a celebration of a king who was incredibly popular among Norwegians his coffin is now going to go to the Akershus fortress where he will finally lay to rest a private ceremony will be held for close family members and other close guests before later this afternoon we can expect the new king his son King Haakon VIII to address the public from the palace balcony so a long day filled with
ceremony and tradition and a lot of security as well.
It's a massive event in Oslo.
The late King, King Harald, was incredibly popular.
So the new King, King Haakon, had big shoes to fill, essentially.
The new King has some scandals among his intimate family.
