Queen Margrethe II hosted an official dinner at Christiansborg Slot for the heads of state and government leaders taking part in the UN's Climate Change Conference in Copenhagen.




Because negotiations took longer than planned, the dinner was shortened by 40 mintes - soup was skipped. Also some participants left earlier to continue their work. Leader of the negotiations, Connie Hedegaard cancelled her attendance.










Greenpeace activists managed to come into Borgen to protest with the slogan "politician talk, leaders act".


Crown princess Mary was seated in between British PM Gordon Brown and Australian president Kevin Rudd.
