O que este vídeo aborda
The death of King Harald V of Norway on 28 August overshadowed the Båter i Sjøen boat show, cancelling the jet-ski display and converting the exhibitor party into a low-key gathering.1:38 The show had opened on 27 August; news of the king's critical condition reached attendees that morning, creating a subdued atmosphere before his death was confirmed the following day.0:20 Twenty-one cannon shots from Akershus fortress marked a mourning salute.2:22 At the marina, members of the Moto Yacht Society asked how to fly their flags correctly: a split flag (splittflagg) should be lowered so its top edge sits one-third down the pole, as with a conventional land flag at half-mast; if the pole is too short, or a standard flag is used, a black ribbon bow is tied at the top.1:38 The future of the splittflagg is uncertain — the design is authorised by royal decree, and no automatic process exists to create a new monogram for King Haakon VIII.3:02 The royal yacht Norge returned to port flying its flag at half-mast.3:36 A previously recorded interview with King Harald, conducted by Mikkel Thomassen, is available on seilmagasinet.no.3:41
