Jubilee evening in Sweden

The Swedish royal family are at the Stockholm Concert Hall for a concert marking the jubilee that's being celebrated over the weekend.  King Carl XVI Gustaf and Queen Silvia arrived with their children and sons in law for the event which begins twenty four hours of festivities that will end with dancing in the streets.

Earlier the whole family had been at a special dinner to mark the event hosted by the government including Princess Madeleine showing the first hints of pregnancy.  The Prime Minister gave a speech to mark the occasion and then it was off to the concert, being hosted by parliament.  And then everyone's up nice and early tomorrow for a thanksgiving service at the Royal Chapel in the Royal Palace before the party really gets started.
