According to Patrik Geijer, who works at Ulriksdal's cemetery, Wednesday's large crowd is nothing unique.

He believes that from time to time large groups of mourners gather in connection with funerals.

- Indoors, we are very strict with the 20-person limit.

But outdoors we do not control the number of people, he says.

He goes on to say that it often happens at Muslim funerals and that he has not heard any directives about limiting the number of people outdoors.
