17th May is known world wide by all Norwegians as the distinct day to comemorate the constitutionalism of the country for nearly 2 centuries todate. Celebrations are organised in micro communities and all people from newly born to great great grand parents of over 90 years of age are party to.
All houses have the national flag flying by the front and patriotism is inculcated in the children at a tender age. All people from different walks of life are joined together by a national cause with out any manifestations of political differences and the well prepared adorn the national outfit or the best wear available.
This year as the king was out of his castle with the royals waving to members of the public in Oslo the prime minister was in Spain celebrating with Norwegians who had gone for vacation.
This also marks the end of upper secondary school finalists celebrations and its the only time they wear something in semblace of a uniform in the national colours.
A lot is usually fixed on the agenda and activities range from matching (childrens parade), prayers, speeches at local level (in some cases led by children), paying tribute to the dead, games in the evening (e.g football) and
house hold celebrations as a climax.
