On the occasion of the succession of the throne on 14 January 2024, The King and The Queen rode in the Golden Wedding Anniversary coach, escorted by the Guard Hussar Regiment’s Mounted Squadron, from Christiansborg Palace to Frederik VIII’s Palace at Amalienborg.

After the proclamation, The King and The Queen rode in the coach from Christiansborg Palace Square to Holmens Bridge along Holmens Canal to Kongens Nytorv.

The Golden Wedding Anniversary Coach was the first Danish coach to have electric lights installed, both in the carriage lamps and inside the coach itself. The coach’s interior, called the coupé, has retained its upholstery of white silk-satin with Christian IX’s and Queen Louise’s monograms interwoven together with the Danish coat of arms and crowns.

Along the route, the Defence was present and visible with flag formations and honour commands.
