The Port of Grimsby has strong historic connections to Scandinavia and the people of Norway. Famously, Ole Theodor Olsen and his Olsen's Fisherman's Nautical Almanack transformed the British fishing industry as a crucial navigational aid for over a century. Many other Norwegians made our area their home and many from our area have special memories and links to Norway, with personal and business connections continuing to this day. Our thoughts today are with the people of that special country on the passing of their beloved King, Harald V.

En hel nasjon er i sorg.

– Det er med dyp sorg jeg har mottatt budskapet om at Hans Majestet Kong Harald V er død.

En hel nasjon sørger, og står samtidig igjen i sterk takknemlighet for et langt liv viet til Norge.

Gjennom mer enn tre tiår som konge viste Harald V en urokkelig tro på det norske folk. Han hjalp oss til å se det beste i oss selv – og i hverandre.

Kong Harald fant ordene som bandt oss sammen når det betød som mest. Han sørget med oss etter 22. juli 2011. Han jublet med oss når norske utøvere nådde de største høyder. Og han gikk foran med varme, klokskap og åpenhet for et samfunn med plass til alle. Kong Harald elsket Norge. Og Norge elsket sin konge.

Min dypeste medfølelse går til dronning Sonja og hele kongefamilien i denne tunge stunden.

Det sier statsminister Jonas Gahr Støre ved Hans Majestet Kong Harald Vs bortgang.

Kong Harald V var født 21. februar 1937. Han ble 89 år gammel.

Regjeringen samles om kort tid til regjeringskonferanse på Statsministerens kontor og vil deretter møte den nye kongen til ekstraordinært statsråd på Slottet.

– Stuorra morrašiin lean vuostáiváldin dieđu ahte Majestehta Gonagas Harald V lea jápmán. Olles našuvdna morašta, ja muittaša su stuorra giitevašvuođain go olles eallinagi barggai Norgga riikii buorrin.

Badjel golbmalot jagi gonagassan čájehii Harald V nana luohttámuša Norgga álbmogii. Son veahkehii min gávdnat dan buoremusa alddiineamet – ja guhtet guoimmisteamet.

Gonagas Harald máhtii sániiguin čatnat min oktii dalle go lei buot mávssolaččamus. Son moraštii minguin maŋŋel suoidnemánu 22. b. 2011. Son illudii minguin go Norgga valáštallit olahedje ođđa olahusaid. Ja son gálii geainnu liekkusvuođain, viisodagain ja rabasvuođain servodahkii gos lea sadji buohkaide. Gonagas Harald ráhkistii Norgga.

Ja Norga ráhkistii iežas gonagasa. Čiekŋalis fuolain ja árpmoštemiin leat mu jurdagat dronnet Sonja ja olles gonagasbearraša luhtte dán lossa áiggis.

Nu dadjá stáhtaministtar Jonas Gahr Støre Majestehta Gonagas Harald V eretvádjoleami oktavuođas.

Gonagas Harald V riegádii guovvamánu 21.b. 1937. Son elii 89 jagi boarisin.

Ráđđehus čoahkkana fargga ráđđehuskonferánsii Stáhtaministara kantuvrras ja áigu dasto deaivvadit ođđa gonagasain erenoamáš stáhtaráđis Šloahtas.
