King Frederik was joined by his wife - and now Queen consort, Mary - soon after, along with his four children.
His succession follows the abdication of his mother, Queen Margrethe, who announced her decision to step down just two weeks ago.
The BBC's Daniela Ralph spoke to Charlotte Cook from Copenhagen.
