Copenhagen, Denmark, August 23, 2013. The Little Mermaid turns 100 today and Copenhagen throws her a party to celebrate her centenary with thousands of visitors in a day-long programme honouring the Hans Christian Andersen figure and icon. In those days brewer Carl Jacobsen (Carlsberg) came on the idea to present Copenhagen with the mermaid sculpture at Langelinie. Today the draymen and the old Carlsberg dray horses transport free draught beer and soft drinks to her birthday party. Credit: Niels Quist/Alamy Live News
