It was a proud and hopeful mayor who accepted the task and the title of UNICEF By the 2011th "The whole council agreed that we should accept the challenge, when UNICEF contacted us. But Randers municipality can not do it alone. We invite citizens on the project, you can create a common mission. I think the project will create new communities in Randers, "said Mayor Henning Jensen Nyhuus in his speech.

This is, from my impressions of interviews, etc., an intelligent, thinking woman. Why do those attributes leave her when she looks in the mirror before going out?? Obviously, she likes how she looks but wow...God knows why??  |

Margrethe was there too. She didn't want to steal the limelight from Alexandra, reports Her og nu, so she went in through a sidedoor and she and Benedikte, who was with her, even brought their own cookies to eat during the show.

Why F&M weren't invited, they're such a 'ambassadors' of the Danish UNICEF LOL!  It just goes to show how utterly shallow and vapid F&M are. They wouldn't touch UNICEF with a bargepole if William and Kate hadn't been on the scene. Awful.  |
