Official British photograph showing Danish civilians greeting the first British troops to land in Copenhagen.
The original caption reads: " The first British troops to land in Denmark were some of our Airborne troops, fresh from their race across Germany to link up with the Russians.
On the airfield, crowds broke through the barriers, and carried airborne troops shoulder high from their planes."
