Europe2 sources2 countries🔦 Under-reported48m ago
Norway is holding a funeral on Wednesday to bid a final farewell to the late King Harald V. The service in Oslo is being attended by royalty, political leaders, and dignitaries from across Europe and beyond to honor the monarch.
King Harald V is being remembered as a modern, unifying figure and the "grandfather of the nation" who presided over a 35-year reign. Members of the public previously filed past his bier during an official lying-in-state at the Palace Chapel.
While his reign was marked by his popularity and unifying role, it was also notably tarnished by scandals toward the end of his tenure.
