Default Then & now Wageningen; picture wanted!

Hello all,

On the "old" forum iīve been researching some "then & now" pictures. One of the suggestions i got from one of you was a nice picture of the town square of Wageningen, with a line up of Canadian soldiers.
Ever since i got the new PC i lost some of the pictures, including this one. I have had the intention of visiting this place for a long while now, and the ideal moment has come!
Next monday, May 5th. is our national liberation day. On this day we (the Military Depot Foundation) are invited to join the official celebrations in Wageningen. These are held there every year because thatīs where the German forces in The Netherlands officially surrendered to the Allied forces, in presence of H.R.H. Prince Bernhard , with the documents being signed in hotel "De Wereld" (The World). There is still a plaque remembering this moment, and as far as i know the room has hardly been touched / changed ever since.
This actually is the only "event" the Prince still cares to visit nowadays, because of his age / health.
I will take the C60 if possible, so i thought it would be nice to place it in front of the Town Hal, and make a "now" picture.
So, if any one could help me to the picture, please!!
Thanks,

Martin.
