“If it weren't for the cross, I wouldn't have understood that this was a church. It's a large, white, square object.”

“It's a shame that when they finally demolish it, they replace it with what they have planned.”

“The planned building looks cheap and mass-produced.”

“Then I think they should have renovated the old church and reused it to a much greater extent, because it at least had a much better starting point to become a more beautiful church, if that was the intention.”

“For me, Australia has held a very special place in my heart ever since I slipped into that bar and lost it in a conversation that has never ended.”

“Once upon a time, Denmark perhaps did not resonate widely in Australia. Then something changed.”

“In 2004, your Mary and I were married, and with that, Denmark once again had a Crown Princess.”

“From that moment on, everyone 'down under' knew of the Nordic country 'up over'.”

“Mary, you had the courage to leave your beloved home and build a new one with me as far away as one can possibly go.”

“For that, I will be forever grateful.”
