3 September: The Embassy held its annual Beer Garden event for contacts and friends. Despite an initial scare of rain, the wheather cleared up before guests arrived and the event was another fantastic success. Good British beer and pub-style food was enjoyed by all - and to top it off, live entertainment was provided by "Fiddler on the hoof".



All in all, a good day was had by everyone. And the Embassy had the chance to say thanks to many of its work partners in a more informal style.

Lars,

My congratulations on your appointment as Prime Minister. I look forward to working closely with you in the many areas where Britain and Denmark share both interests and ambitions. In particular, I am determined to support your efforts to achieve real success at COP15, and to maintain our close cooperation in the face of global recession, in Afghanistan, and in the EU. I hope we shall have an early chance to meet and discuss these and other shared concerns before too long. With very best wishes,

Gordon
