Later that year Norway had to accept the union with Sweden, but saved most of its new constitution. The union with Sweden ended in 1905, and the Norwegians elected a Danish prince as king of Norway. And May 17 th became the national holiday of our country. Every community celebrate this day. 11 pm on a cold and windy day.
People are ready to start the parade near the community house.
The children have gathered behind the flag. At the harbour a brass band from another island arrives in a fishing boat. The narrow road doesn't allow more than four players to walk side by side. We have turned, a mile from the community house. As you can see, the road has its ups and downs and many turns.
