This just cuts to the core, it hits differently when it is a king, who was the heart of his people. May god bless, and keep his majesty. Greetings from Denmark.
King Olav V loved the Norwegian people until the end and they loved him in return. His tomb in the crypt of the Akerhus Fortress church is beautiful. He lies near his parents and his beloved wife, Crown Princess Martha. It is a beautiful resting place.
The Nazis were terrible and beyond mean. This man was a part of our "Greatest Generation" and knew just how bad things were going to get if he did not fight back.
Yes, he did! And every year for the rest of his life, I think as the only foreign Head of State, he attended the Remembrance Day ceremonies in London. To pay respect to the British for all they did for Norway during WWII.
As a funfact. The king died on the 17th of January 1991, infront of his TV, while watching the evening news report about the Gulf war. He was generally conserned that this conflict might escalate into a 3rd world war.
Olav V de Norvège avait été désigné, en 2005, comme étant le Norvégien du siècle (1905-2005). C'est dire son immense popularité. Il fut un homme de bien, le Folgekongen
Thank you for clarification! So this video is from 1991, and it was posted this past November 2021. Very confusing. News full of crazy people with guns in the USA and not getting vaccinated or wearing a mask! Little time to keep up with the world outside!
@@houseofbeeswax Hi yes it confused me too (I am sure others too). Then I remembered that the Dutch king visited the current King Harald of Norway in early November this year. I thought then I should mention it here. So I guess we are all on the same page now :😀
I met His Majesty, King Olav V. He was a wonderful, kind person and monarch. On my paternal Side, I'm of Nobility and the Heir to the current Count Of Sant'Angelo, Micaelo II, but it is a title held In Absentia Of The Kingdom Of Naples & The Two Sicilies. Neither of the two Italian monarchies nor the Papal Sates will be restored, even though I think they should be. I'm a believer in a constitutional monarchy. Having a King, Queen, Archduke or Prince is so much better than just an elected official. It brings a sense of Majesty, Magic and Awe to a country and is great for tourism to many of the countries that still have monarchies. On my maternal side, I'm of the Black Nobility Of Rome, those Nobles who supported S.S. Beatvs Pivs pp IX, as Sovereign Of The Papal States and we wanted Italy divided into three separate kingdoms, the northern Kingdom Of Savoy, the Papal States and the southern Kingdom Of Naples & The Two Sicilies. My mother's father's maternal family did not support The House Of Savoy's unification of Italy into one Kingdom until the 1929 Lateran Treaty with Italy making Vatican City a Sovereign State and the Pope the Sovereign. It's on mother's father's maternal side, that, I'm a great grandnephew of S.S. Venerabilis Pivs pp XII and on mother's father's paternal side, I'm a 4 times great grandnephew of S.S. Leonis pp XIII, who in his own right was a Count, in Carpineto, Rome, Italy. Both of my grandfathers, my father, mother and I met His Majesty, King Olav V. For me, it was brief and I was very young when I met Him twice, but the feeling I have for Him is one of deep respect. Both of my grandfathers knew Him. He fought against Nazi Germany knowing he didn't have a chance to stop them, but He pressed on with it. He kept His Honour!! My mother's father fought Nazi Germany as a Lieutenant Colonel. He was in the Armed Forces from 1913-1950, serving in the Great War (WWI), World War II & retired just as the Korea War was starting and the United States was getting involved. The Funeral March Music played as his coffin came into the Church was written by Elgar upon the death of His Majesty, King Edward VII Of The United Kingdom in May 1910. It was used as his funeral march. It's a magnificent piece of music that Elgar had to have been inspired by God to write it. King Olav V was a polite, kind, honourable and very friendly person who loved His Country. Being a young boy the first time we met and then a teenager at the second meeting, made me very nervous. Meeting a King, Queen, Archduke, Prince or Princess, etc... is very thrilling. I know I was so nervous when I met him. My legs were like jelly The same happened to me when I met S S. Sanctvs Ioannes Pavlvs pp II. I was totally in Awe and went down on my knee when upon seeing Him walk in the room. I remember watching the funeral of King Olav V on television and I remember my mother's father went to the funeral as an invited guest. My father's dad most likely would have been invited as well, but he had already passed away when His Majesty passed. Seeing it again after all these years brought back many good and a few sad childhood memories. God Bless Him & Rest His Soul!!
@ Dottore Gennaro.... I would agree with you as to restoration of the Monarchy if there was someone worthy of the throne. Prince Amadeo is gone. I know nothing of his son. I too am descendant of the Piemontese nobility, Marchese di Torino. We fled from the fascist blackshirts with our lives in '23 and our land confiscated. Some of us did NOT escape... It was my father's dying admonition to never return. I never disobeyed him. I still have affection for my ancestors and the land, but am dismayed at the government for breaking it's own anti fascist laws by permitting the veritable "shrine" to Mussolini. THEY (his descendants) should have been exiled in '45/46. On another note I have been trying to identify the Funeral March for King Olav - the procession from the palace to the church. Distinti Saluti !
@@candaceroberts3238 I just got your message.... I'm afraid to have to agree with you. My Great Grandfather was one of King Umberto 1st's trusted Generals, and in 1923 paid with his life for speaking against Mussolini and Fascism. My Great Grandmother as well. I know that the House of Savoy has been split in half for some time. VE4 violated his father's edicts against marrying without permission and thus forfeited the throne. His personal conduct has also been subject to much consternation - all of his indiscretions are public record. His own daughter disavowed him. The late Amadeo, Prince of Savoy and Duke of Aosta was the true heir, and now his son Prince Aimone. But as I said, I know next to nothing about him. I was raised on the principal of Noblesse oblige - the Nobility has obligations and is not a life of privelege. I'll heed my late Father's admonitions to never return to Italy, save for reestablishment of the Principality of Piedmont Savoy. That is NOT likely to happen in my life. I'm 58.
mooi en respect die heb ik nooit gezien op Tv in 1991.en ik zag Prinses Juliana ook na afloop dienst.onze vroegere Koningin.En bedankt voor uitzending op RUclips.
La Norvège pleure son bon Roi. Né en Grande-Bretagne, le Prince Alexander, fils unique du Prince Carl de Danemark et de la Princesse Maud de Galles, débarqua avec ses parents en 1905 sur le sol norvégien alors qu'il n'avait que deux ans seulement. Elevé comme un véritable citoyen de son pays d'adoption, le Prince Alexander devenu le Prince royal Olav, allait faire la fierté de son peuple qu'il aimait tant. De par son mariage avec la Princesse Martha de Suède, il eut trois enfants : deux filles et un garçon (aujourd'hui devenu Roi). Cette union entre les deux maisons royales scandinaves marqua définitivement la réconciliation entre la Norvège et la Suède, après la séparation des deux pays en 1905. Lorsque l'autre cinglé envahit la Norvège en 1940, le Prince Olav souhaita rester au pays afin d'y organiser la résistance nationale contre l'envahisseur, mais il dut quitter son pays à contre-cœur afin de pouvoir épauler son père le Roi Haakon VII (et dont la tête avait été mise à prix par le cinglé de Berlin). Durant la guerre le Prince Olav commanda les troupes norvégiennes. A la fin de la guerre il retourne au pays avec sa famille où il est accueilli par une population dans une liesse indescriptible. En 1954, malheureusement, il perdit l'amour de sa vie, la Princesse héritière Martha décéda suite à un cancer et il restera veuf toute sa vie durant. En 1957, son père le Roi Haakon VII décéda et le Prince Olav devint le nouveau Roi de Norvège. Très populaire auprès de son peuple, le Roi Olav aimait les choses simples. On le voyait souvent se promener dans les rues d'Oslo et payait lui-même son ticket de tramway (contrairement à un homme politique français, qui, lui n'hésitait pas à frauder le métro parisien). Consciencieux dans ses devoirs de monarque constitutionnel, il savait rassembler autour de lui, tous les Norvégiens autour du trône. Il laissera le souvenir d'un homme bon et généreux envers tous et avec qui on pouvait discuter simplement. Pour finir, je citerai Racine qui disait en son temps : "Pour être aimé sans peine, il suffit d'être Roi" Gods save the King. Long live the King.
I must admit that the beard suits him very well ... but He just follows the fashion , like all the sheep on this earth . Ari Behn ( his sister's ex husband ) did not have beard either ... and then decided to let it grow too . Now all men look the same . More variety when this video was made ( 1991 ) ! Just wait a few years when someone ( influencer or whatever ) will say that beards should belong to the past ... and King Harald ( and all the " sheep " ) will suddenly think that it's time to shave it !
some people have them but this was done by the State broadcaster (BBC mandate) in 1991. At the time the official national church literally was an arm of the government with the pastors listed as State government servants. Now, a large percentage of Norway residents do not have membership in any major faiths. For those familiar with western Christian churches they are allied with the World Lutheran Federation
Does anyone know the name of the processional music as the coffin made its way? It's a march I have not heard before in the UK. Is rgere a list of the music in the cathedral available anywhere? Some of it was familiar (e.g. Elgar "Nimrod" and the Bach "Dona nobis pacem" at the end and I know I have sung the "Amen" before (I think it's by Orlando Gibbons, sung also at the British coronation in May). That was Grieg's Holberg Suite accompanying pictures of the chapel at the end.
The women are Queen Sonja and Princess Martha Louise, the daughter of King Harald and Queen Sonja. Crown Prince Haakon is walking on King Harald's left.
Queen Margrethe, Queen Silvia, Queen Fabiola, Queen Sofia, Grand Duchess Josephine Charlotte, and Queen Beatrix were also in heavy mourning wearing veils.
Thank you, Andy. 💖 It was such a shock when the old king died. I remember it clearly. The whole nation came to a silent standstill. My friend and I went to lit candles in front of the Royal Palace. It was a sea of light. We were also stood outside the church on the day of the funeral. It was bitterly cold, but we hardly noticed. We were still numb with grief. King Olav was immensely popular. Some foreign dignitary staying at the Royal Palace asked the king if he felt safe, with only a few guards outside the building. No fences. No bollards. No tanks... The King then answered ; "I have 4 million bodyguards, so I'm perfectly safe you see" ! Stay safe and well. Love from Oslo, Norway 🇳🇴
Depends how you define it. Norway was a co-kingdom with Denmark for 400 years. It was ruled as one kingdom, but officially it was two. The king in Copenhagen had two cabinets, and had to make two sets of laws. Then after the Napoleon wars we had the peace treaty of Kiel in 1814, were Denmark forced to hand over Norway to Sweden. In the meantime Norway decleared itself independent. Sweden tried to invade, which could have been a very long, very expensive and very costly process, because of Norway's extremely dificult topography, but it ended pretty quickly in the negociation of a union. The union was pretty loose. We were basically two independent countries, just with the same Head of State. In Sweden the king was an absolute monarch, while in Norway he was the figurehead constitutional and democratic monarchy. The union lasted until 1905, when it was dissolved pretty much over a technicallity. By then Sweden had also moved in a more constitutional and democratic direction, so there was no interest in fighting it.
@@TheTerryE They are a country that are loosing their identity through allowing mass asylum seekers in. They opened their doors as instructed by the EU and now have ghettoes the same thing has happened in Denmark where they now have 27 official ghettoes and the Danish government are trying to send the asylum seekers back to their homelands as the fighting has finished so they no longer need asylum but Brussels does not want to loose the cheap labour that is the bedrock of their form of socialist system.
Kinda askew is it not? I think the posters before me, put all the factual information to prove it was otherwise. Also, would it not be weird that this King of Norway was born as Prince Alexander of Denmark, his father, Prince Carl of Denmark, brother to the Danish king Christian X. Prince Carl. who changed his name to Haakon VII, after the November plebiscite, where the Norwegian people decided between a republic, or a Kingdom, and put him as their king. Our Royal houses have the same blood now. So think about it, would a people who was without freedom do this? I somehow doubt it. I fear you either listened to too much ultra nationalistic propaganda, or just skimmed over things, and made conclusions that are neither here nor there.
I only speak Ukrainian. I am using google translator. Therefore, please excuse me if the translation is bad! I am from Western Ukraine. I am a nurse and I save lives. I live now in Germany. I need a lawyer to file, with other disabled citizens of Ukraine, a lawsuit against Norway. My husband, a Ukrainian (oil worker, human rights activist) became disabled as a result of his defense of the rights of other people (Norwegian and Russian media for 9 years). My husband fought corruption in the Russian oil giant, which was headed by the founder of the 6th Directorate of the FSB and the ex-Chancellor of Germany. My husband defended the rights of disabled people and Ukrainians in Norway against Russian-speaking citizens of this NATO country. The Norwegians took my disabled husband to Moscow AFTER: anti-war pickets of my husband in the Russian Federation, his defense of the rights of Ukrainians in Norway, the issuance of documents to my husband by the Norwegian Red Cross for his close relatives (Polish servicemen repressed by the Russians), sentencing his defender to prison (in married to a citizen of Finland for 25 years) in Belarus, who reported the crime of the Norwegians against the Ukrainians and was recognized as a Political prisoner. My husband and his lawyer warned the Norwegians about the coming war, but they did not believe him. The husband was kidnapped and the war began. And after the war began, the Norwegians do NOT admit their mistakes! Unlike the Swedes, the Norwegians DO NOT LIKE to admit their mistakes even when the Chechen refugees deported by the Norwegians were killed in the Russian Federation (Norwegian media).hfrsa
The coffin is placed upon a canon trailer, I think. The car pulling it is a Volvo L3314. A Swedish produced military car that was used in the Norwegian Army in the past. I guess you can call it our version of the Willy's Jeep.
@@agehellander8419 Yes, Geländerwagen started to get used by the Norwegian Army in the 1980s, but these transitions were probably very gradual. Right now we have started to replace the Geländerwagens with Volkswagen Ammarok.
Wenn das stimmt, warum ist Prinz Hakon dann noch nicht der neue König von Norwegen geworden? If that's true, then why hasn't Prince Hakon become the new King of Norway yet?
Harald V was Olav's V eldest son. Crown Prince Haakon is Harald's son. Olav V had to die before Harald became King and in turn Harald has to die before Haakon becomes king.

They opened their doors as instructed by the EU and now have ghettoes the same thing has happened in Denmark where they now have 27 official ghettoes and the Danish government are trying to send the asylum seekers back to their homelands as the fighting has finished so they no longer need asylum but Brussels does not want to loose the cheap labour that is the bedrock of their form of socialist system.
Kinda askew is it not? I think the posters before me, put all the factual information to prove it was otherwise. Also, would it not be weird that this King of Norway was born as Prince Alexander of Denmark, his father, Prince Carl of Denmark, brother to the Danish king Christian X. Prince Carl. who changed his name to Haakon VII, after the November plebiscite, where the Norwegian people decided between a republic, or a Kingdom, and put him as their king. Our Royal houses have the same blood now. So think about it, would a people who was without freedom do this? I somehow doubt it. I fear you either listened to too much ultra nationalistic propaganda, or just skimmed over things, and made conclusions that are neither here nor there.
This was over 30 years ago - please!
are you kidding??????--it's HISTORY...check out his role in WW11

@@lynnsmithershubbard1896WW11?? There has been only 2 world wars. Do you mean WWII?

I only speak Ukrainian. I am using google translator. Therefore, please excuse me if the translation is bad! I am from Western Ukraine. I am a nurse and I save lives. I live now in Germany. I need a lawyer to file, with other disabled citizens of Ukraine, a lawsuit against Norway. My husband, a Ukrainian (oil worker, human rights activist) became disabled as a result of his defense of the rights of other people (Norwegian and Russian media for 9 years). My husband fought corruption in the Russian oil giant, which was headed by the founder of the 6th Directorate of the FSB and the ex-Chancellor of Germany. My husband defended the rights of disabled people and Ukrainians in Norway against Russian-speaking citizens of this NATO country. The Norwegians took my disabled husband to Moscow AFTER: anti-war pickets of my husband in the Russian Federation, his defense of the rights of Ukrainians in Norway, the issuance of documents to my husband by the Norwegian Red Cross for his close relatives (Polish servicemen repressed by the Russians), sentencing his defender to prison (in married to a citizen of Finland for 25 years) in Belarus, who reported the crime of the Norwegians against the Ukrainians and was recognized as a Political prisoner. My husband and his lawyer warned the Norwegians about the coming war, but they did not believe him. The husband was kidnapped and the war began. And after the war began, the Norwegians do NOT admit their mistakes! Unlike the Swedes, the Norwegians DO NOT LIKE to admit their mistakes even when the Chechen refugees deported by the Norwegians were killed in the Russian Federation (Norwegian media).hfrsa
This funeral was in 1991. Those expressing their condolences are 32 years late.
very retro, 30 years ago

Sorry, King Olav V. from 🇳🇴! I thing is King Harald dead .
He died in 1991
RIP YRH
Folkekongen! 17. Jan. 1991. Den dagen er brent inn i minnet.
Whats the funny little vehicle pulling him?
The coffin is placed upon a canon trailer, I think. The car pulling it is a Volvo L3314. A Swedish produced military car that was used in the Norwegian Army in the past. I guess you can call it our version of the Willy's Jeep.
What did you expected, a Mercedes-Benz Geländewagen G63 AMG back in 1991?
@@agehellander8419 Yes, Geländerwagen started to get used by the Norwegian Army in the 1980s, but these transitions were probably very gradual. Right now we have started to replace the Geländerwagens with Volkswagen Ammarok.
I dont see anything funny about the vehicle This was taken 30 years ago Look how young King Charles looked
Viva la monarchia

Wenn das stimmt, warum ist Prinz Hakon dann noch nicht der neue König von Norwegen geworden?
If that's true, then why hasn't Prince Hakon become the new King of Norway yet?
Harald V was Olav's V eldest son. Crown Prince Haakon is Harald's son. Olav V had to die before Harald became King and in turn Harald has to die before Haakon becomes king.
a Viking Funeral.
Descanse en paz el REY OLAV
True and I just happened to be watching Vikings on Netflix series season 6 😊 great history but a wonderful people and culture !
