Eric signing 'Hearts in the Air' single · June 6, 2011

"Hey Uppsala", were the opening words, of Eric Saade on the scene at St. Erik's Square. UNT Steinholtz Sparby was present at the commemoration in Uppsala.

But even at 12 o'clock, it was full of National Day celebration families in the square. Small, eager flag waving people crowd happily with each other and dancing is in full swing along with the pirate Tarzan. Most parents have a somewhat nervous feeling about losing their children in the crowd.
Today's festivities, along with a relentlessly hot sun, has attracted large amounts of Uppsala residents in the crowd. The Adan family, with children Isaac, Nora and Aaron are waiting for face painting and big brother Isaac wants a Swedish flag painted on his cheek. They have celebrated National Day every year since they were children and find it fun to create new traditions surrounding the celebration, although it may be a bit chaotic in the city.

Away at Park Cochlea, the average age is slightly higher. Despite the catchy rhythms of the band Man Luckerz on stage, the audience is quiet and very gently waving the blue and yellow flags. There is also a traditional speech to Sweden by the City Council President, Lars Bäcklund and the Uppsala Chamber Choir sings beautifully about homeland Sweden. Uppsala actor Sam Kessel, reads two texts from the Dag Hammarskjöld Sköld diaries and with the spontaneous, opening words "I think that we can celebrate this day thanks to the people 'back in the day' fighting for our freedom and equality", he picks charm points in the audience.

Even outside the Park Shell, around the City Park, is full of picnicing Uppsala residents. National holiday makers Inga-Lill Kjettselberg and Marianne Wiklund, take a cup of coffee in the shade and enjoy listening to the music and are people watching. They were sat in the sun earlier, but it was a bit too sweaty after a while.


The highlight, at least for the young national holiday makers, are quite clear this afternoon. Eric Saade - concert at St. Erik's Square. Both the square and the stairs up to the cathedral are packed with excited, screaming fans. It is difficult to see and the smallest are high up on mom's or dad's shoulders. When Eric Saade makes the introductory notes to the song contest song "Popular", rocking the entire St. Erik's Square. When he shouts "hands in the air’ all people, large and small all wave their flags. Park Shell can throw themselves into the wall.
