The Danish royals put on an elegant display as they arrived in dinner jackets and lavish evening gowns to attend a family dinner at Amalienborg Palace in Copenhagen yesterday evening.

Queen Margrethe, 79, was hosting a private dinner to celebrate the 50th birthday of her son Prince Joachim - the sixth in the line of succession to the Danish throne, following his elder brother, Crown Prince Frederik, and Frederik's four children.

The Crown Prince himself, aged 51, was among those attending the event arriving alongside his wife the Crown Princess Mary and his four children Christian, 13, Isabella, 12, Vincent, eight, and Josephine, eight.

The Queen dazzled in a floral dress as she welcomed Prince Joachim and his wife Princess Marie and the Prince's four children. Dressed in a white dinner suit, the Prince was first to greet his mother as his family followed.

His wife, Princess Marie, looked equally radiant in a blue evening gown. Other attendees included the former French Ambassador to Denmark, François Zimeray, and his wife - and the Countess Fleming.

The royals waved to waiting crowds as they entered the Amalienborg Palace - the official residence of the Queen and her family. They then entered for the private dinner to celebrate Prince Joachim's birthday.
