On July 31, 1992, Queen Margrethe II of Denmark, who recently announced her abdication, became the first monarch to visit independent Lithuania. Here, she visited Trakai and… a chicken farm.
Denmark was the second sovereign state to recognise Lithuania’s restored independence, and the friendship between the two countries was further strengthened by the visit of Queen Margaret II to Lithuania in July 1992.
Here are also some photos from her visit:
