TALMANNEN
I would like to begin by drawing the Chamber's attention to the fact that today marks 50 years since Gustaf VI Adolf was succeeded on the Swedish throne by His Majesty King Carl XVI Gustaf. It is a historical day. Never before in our history has a monarch been head of state for so long. To mark the historical significance of today, this day is also a general flag day and is observed in many ways across Sweden.
