The streets of Kirkwall were awash with colour this afternoon, Saturday, as the annual celebrations marking Norwegian Constitution Day took place.

This year, many passengers and crew from the Norwegian cruise ship Fram joined in the event, which took place in bright sunshine and warm weather.

2014 marks the 200th anniversary of the signing of the constitution and the Orkney Norway Friendship Association’s 35th year of celebrating the annual event.
