Solemn ceremony when the Riksdag opens

Hundreds of police officers – on foot, at sea and in the air – are on site as royalty, foreign dignitaries and hundreds of thousands of Stockholmers take to the streets.

At 2:00 p.m., as usual, the King will declare the National Assembly open, followed by the Prime Minister’s declaration of government.

TV4 Nyheterna’s Jens B Nordström reports directly from the opening of the Riksdag.
