In front of the Danish Navy crews and accompanied by their measured steps the Danish Naval Band played its way trough Odense.
The tradition bound march followed by the maritime service began at 09:00 AM at Odense harbour where the off duty part of the navy crew mustered on the pier.
The Admiral Danish Fleet, Rear admiral Nils Wang, marched in front of the crews. In three ruler-strait ranks the Royal Danish Navy arrived at Odense Cathedral where they participated in the service.
The church march followed by the service is an established part of the DANEX exercise, and this year the service, lead by Naval Chaplain Ejgil Bank Olesen, was conducted in connection with the DANEX force’s weekend stay in Odense.
