Spanish term or phrase: para deleite de todos

Context: news article about the return of artifacts by Yale to Peru

Luego de una intensa negociación entre el Estado peruano y la Universidad de Yale, más de 40 mil piezas que el arqueólogo Hiram Bingham llevó a los Estados Unidos, han sido devueltas al Perú para deleite de todos.

How do you say this phrase in English? To everybody's delight? But does this sound natural?...

Thank you for your suggestions.

for the enjoyment of all

Explanation:
These are items being returned to a museum to be enjoyed by all those who visit it. I think it is slightly more specific than just an indication of general joy.

Although "(much) to everyone's delight" is the exact translation of the phrase, I think patinba's answer fits best here. Thank you all!

Otto Albers: The "much" emphasizes the joy of being a participant in a special occasion. Its use exemplifies the difference between those who speak the language and those who dabble on it.

Asker: Thank you patinba. I hadn't thought about it like that, but it totally makes sense, I think you're right :)

Charles Davis: I entirely agree; I don't think it means that everyone is very glad they've been returned (though no doubt they are), but that everyone takes pleasure in being able to see them. An alternative phrasing which I like is "for everyone to enjoy".

-> Yes, also. Thank-you, Charles.

lorenab23: yes, key word here is "para". Happy Monday!

Marian Vieyra: 'para' is the Spanish preposition used with deleite, meaning 'to' not for.

16 hrs

-> No. Sorry, but "to" does not work with "para deleite de"

bcsantos: Yes,so that everyone can enjoy it.

This could also be phrased "(much) to everyone's satisfaction." The "much" is just an intensifier.
