National Liberation day
Hello Steve,
The happening is our annual celebrations of our national liberation day, may 5. On this day, a veterans parade is held in Wageningen, marching past the place where the surrender was signed (Hotel de Wereld) with H.R.H. Prince Bernhard inspecting the troops. He was the official Dutch representative back then, and thus is still present as such. How long nobody knows though, because he is in his nineties now!
This event is coverd by national TV, hence the reporters (the lady in beige suit is actually quite famous here!) and camera´s.
Cheers,
Martin.
