Thank you, Thorkil. Technically, it's the constitution that we celebrate, since, as you point out, we weren't really free, and the liberation from Sweden came as late as 7 June 1905. Interestingly the Swedish national day, until 1984 "Svenske Flaggans Dag" is on 6 June. The reason for the name of the day was, as far as I know, to celebrate the new Swedish flag, the one without the "herring salad", a combination of the Swedish and Norwegian flags, in the corner. So in a way, you can say that the Swedes are celebrating that they finally got rid of us, while we celebrate that you got rid of us...congrats Jørgen with your liberation from Denmark in 1814 , even though it was a short relief while the swedes came along and grabbed you for the next 90 years
