‘At this Arctic latitude, snow was still thick on the ground and everyone was issued with skis to get around.’

It was here that they were to spend the Norwegian national holiday, 17 May. At 12.00 noon, they tuned in to the BBC World Service and heard a service being held in the Norwegian Seamen’s Church in Rotherhithe, south-east London. The Lutheran pastor was saying:

I do not know if the King is listening to this broadcast, but if he is, I would like to say that over here we have been following our King with the greatest affection and sympathy. We know a little of the persecution and danger to which Your Majesty has been subjected in these evil days, and there are many among us who, when we pray for our homes and country, have also asked God to protect our beloved King. We who are gathered here today in a Norwegian church in London, Norwegian seamen the world over and all other true Norwegians wherever they may be, send out assurances of affection and loyalty to the royal house. We repeat the old saying, ‘God Save the King and Our Fatherland.’
