It was the first time ever a British reigning monarch came to visit the original brewery in Copenhagen. The brewery, its workers and the wider public were buzzing with excitement, and many Danes even paid £4 (equivalent to approx. 80 pounds today) to get a glimpse of the Queen on her way to Carlsberg.

No details were left unattended in preparation for the royal visit - and even the lift indicator lights were covered up. Why? Well, it’s quite a funny story actually... Whenever the lift would be in operation, an ‘I fart’ sign (meaning ‘in service’ in Danish) would be on. In most other instances, the Danes would probably have found it rather amusing to observe a native English-speaker’s reaction to this, but on this occasion, the staff thought it best to cover it up. Probably a good call if you ask us.
