Hans Majestets Kongens Garde, His Majesty the King's Guard on the Norwegian Constitution Day 17 Mai 2018. Excerpt from the Drill Command Program. These soldiers belong to the 3rd Guard Company, Drill Platoon. They are a special force of conscripted soldiers guarding the Royal Family. They serve for one year. During that time they have a reputation of becoming one of the finest Drill Corps in the world due to special programs developed by their Battalion.

As is tradition, after their show on the Norwegian Constitution Day May 17. (17. Mai 1814) in Oslo in front of the University of Oslo, they ask the lady bystanders for a dance, before they prepare to march to the Royal Palace parading for His Majesty the King, the Royal Family and all the tens of thousands celebrating Constitution Day.

At the end of this video you can see Norwegians dancing a traditional dance, wearing traditional dresses (varies from place to place in the country) known as "bunad".
