Today it was 100 years since King Haakon VII and Queen Maud were
crowned
in Trondhjem domkirke (today Nidaros domkirke/cathedral). The
coronation
centennial was among others marked by a church service:

With all of this nostalgia for the coronation, is there any chance that
the
practice of crowning (rather than simply consecrating) new monarchs might
be
revived in Norway?

No, not at all. I am sure that the Crown Prince Haakon as King will
continue
the tradition with a concecration ceremony only.

It seems a bit strange to celebrate the anniversary of an event they no
longer hold.
