Säpojoggen

Säpo is the Swedish Security Service, with, amongst its mainly duties, the security of the our Royal family.
One year ago, the Crown Princess Victoria got married, and whilst she was riding a beautiful horse carriage down the streets of Stockholm, her 4 personal security guards (Säpo) was seen jogging alongside the cortège dressed in black suit and comfortable black jogging shoes. The rumor says they were doing 10 km/h without moving their arms!^^

These brave men have started a new Swedish tradition, probably better celebrated than our own National Day; the Säpo Jog.
This morning 2 300 persons were attending the jog. Dress code: Black suit, white shirt, black tie (for male participants), black socks and black shoes. Makes me think of the MIB big time, have a look for yourselves!^^
