A ceremony organized by Alþingi and the Prime Minister's Office begins at Austurvelli at 11.10 but it will be televised and broadcast on RÚV. The President of Iceland, halla Tómasdóttir, lays a wreath from the Icelandic people at Jón Sigurðsson's memorial and delivers a celebratory speech. The mountain woman delivers a speech, but her identity is always a secret until the ceremony.
As usual, new students lay a wreath at Jón and Ingibjargar's path in Hólavalla cemetery after the morning ceremony at Austurvelli. The president of the city council delivers a speech and scouts stand guard.
