Various celebrations were held in Copenhagen to celebrate the centennial of the Little Mermaid 1 statue.
Speeches, a children's concert and birthday-song singings have been held in the city for the iconic statue.
Bodypainted mermaids 3 have also posed in front of some other world-famous backdrops, from the Sydney Opera House to the Eiffel Tower.
Jan Olsen is the director of Visit Denmark, a leading website introducing tourism in Denmark.
"It's fantastic and it's because The Little Mermaid is an icon 2 for Denmark and Copenhagen, and she is so well known around the world, that people are interested in celebrating her birthday."
The bronze statue was created as a tribute to fairytale writer Hans Christian 4 Andersen.
The author penned a story about a sea king's daughter who fell in love with a prince but had to wait 300 years before she could turn from mermaid into human.
It draws at least 1 million visitors to the capital of Denmark every year.
