    I'm not one of them but it was pretty crazy going through Copenhagen today (I was just passing through lol). And watching the events on TV later was very impressive, I don't think that many people have ever gathered in one place in the history of Denmark. You can see the crowd spilling into every side street, and there was also thick rows of people along the route they drove in the coach https://www.instagram.com/p/C2Fr13sNeti/?hl=en&img_index=3

    Republik Nu has seen a surge in membership since the queen announced her surprise abdication, and Mads Rundstrøm has been making regular media appearances.
