Danish Constitution Day

This logo appears at http://www.google.dk today.

Constitution Day (Danish: Grundlovsdag) commemorates the anniversary of the signing of the Danish constitution of 1849, which established Denmark as a constitutional monarchy, and honors the constitution of 1953, which was adopted on the same day. It is celebrated on the fifth of June of each year where almost all workplaces and shops are closed, at noon on this particular day.

The day, however, is not widely used to celebrate the constitution as is seen in other countries, for example Norway.

This day is also Father's Day in Denmark.

After monitoring the H1N1 (swine flu) virus for the past month, the Danish Home’s administration has concluded that cancellation (for this year's celebration) is the only responsible choice. Read here.
