Royals from old times in lit de parade

I just wondered about available photos of lit de parade (deathbed and open coffin) photos of royals in Norway and Denmark.

In Sweden the Dowager Duchess Therese of Dalarna (1836-1914) was the last Swedish royal to be photographed in lit de parade (deathbed). Also King Oscar II (1907) and Queen Sophie (1913) were photographed (deathbed). Queen Désirée (1860), the wife of King Carl XIV Johan became photographed (deathbed or open coffin). There are two, one the Queen is seen in profil and the other one a close-up photo of her whole face.

In the Norwegian royal house I have seen photos of both King Haakon (1957) and a close-up photo of the face of Crown Princess Märtha (1954).

In Denmark I believe that the Kings Christian IX (1906) and Frederik VIII (1912) were the last Danish royals to be seen photographed on their deathbed.

Anyone who would like to comment and have more informations?

Thanks

Claes
