Denmark's newly proclaimed King Frederik X appeared before the country's lawmakers on Monday (January 15).
The meeting in parliament to celebrate the succession of the throne was the first official task of King Frederik, 55.
He was proclaimed monarch on Sunday (January 14) by Prime Minister Mette Frederiksen in front of roughly 174,000 cheering people who had converged on the capital in close to freezing temperatures.
