Police said tens of thousands of people lined Karl Johan Avenue in Oslo to watch the funeral procession. The crowd became completely silent as the King’s coffin passed.
A church service followed at 1 p.m. local time, or 11 a.m. GMT. It began with a nationwide minute of silence.
Several international royals attended the funeral, including Japan’s Crown Prince Akishino and Crown Princess Kiko; Spain’s King Felipe, Queen Letizia and Queen Sofia; members of Sweden’s royal family; and Denmark’s King Frederik and Queen Mary.
Heads of state from across the world were also invited.
