Background: Visnews filmed Feb 18
the Danish royal family attending memorial service at Holmens Church,
Copenhagen, for the 95 passengers and seafarers of the Danish motor vessel Hans
Hedtoft, lost without trace after striking an iceberg off Southern Greenland Jan
30.

King Frederik, 59, recovering from a lung ailment, was accompanied by Queen
Ingrid; Princess Margarethe, heir to the throne; Prince Knud, the King's
brother; other members of the Royal family; Prime Minister HC. Hansen and
members of the Government.

Holmens is traditionally the seaman's church. The Bishop of Copenhagen, Fulsang
Damgard, officiated.

At the service were two girls from Greenland who lost their father in the Hans
Hedtoft; some 600 relatives of the victims; the master of the German trawler
Johannes Kruss, Captain Albert Sierch, leader of the initial search for
survivors; members of the diplomatic corps of Canada, USA, Germany, Britain and
Iceland - the nations talking part in the air and sea search.
