In Düsseldorf it will be all about energy. There is a seminar planned called ”Sustainability of future energy supply”.

There is also a seminar being planned on climate and polar research. As well as one on Business and succes and equality and family politics.

EDIT:
I just hope Sonja will leave the yellow dress at home.... we already got to see it twice this year: during the State Visit to Finland and during the State Visit from Brazil.
I wouldn't survive a third time. ;)
Btw: maybe the Queen will wear her dark blue silk dress. She wore during the last State Visit to Germany, too.

I love the outfit of the queen :)
 
Pictures of the military ceremony this morning:
PPE Agency

I'm really curious which galadress and Tiara we'll get to see this night. :rolleyes:
 
I don't think the tiara is too bad. It does match great with the colour of Sonjas dress and her hair.
 
I'm not sure what to think about Sonja's new Tiara-hairstyle...
She used to have this "Sonja wave" ;)... now she pulls her hair back.
It looks quite usual... and I'm missing her stunning hairdos.
Okay, the Tiara and the dress match the German flag (nice idea)... but I think this Tiara will never be one of my favorites. I just don't like it.
Sonja looks elegant anyway.. she can wear whatever she wants ;) (except of the yellow nightmare).
I think she looks pretty: her make up looks beautiful and I'm glad she returned to her original dark hair color!



Viewimages has fantastic pics (also of the Gala):

Just search for "Sonja"

I love the permanent grin of Horst Köhler. :D

Btw; I think we should not forget to mention Eva Luise Köhler: She again looked fantastic! She already looked very fashionable and elegant in the Netherlands and she continues to look great!

Queen sonja looked lovely, she seemed that she was enjoying every minute of the tour today. I liked her outfit very nice put together:flowers:


Her Majesty, the 3 pictures above are really nice but i find them hilarioues in a way.
The 1st picture screamed out to me as soon as i sew it as Queen Sonja wondering if her husband was still behind her:wub:
2nd picture seemed that she was waiting for someone to come round the corner or through the pass way:lol:
& the 3rd seemed that they thought something was gonna drop over them.

Yes it does but the tiara's design is pretty bad, imo. Was it a gift from Harald? I read it was but I am not sure..
