It will be great to see HER again, after an absence of over two months. And that it will be during such a festive occassion only adds to the joy :)

So how many state visits will she pay this year?
1) Argentina
2) Latvia (I like their president btw)
3) Belgium?
4) ?
Does anybody know?

isn't it kinda interesting that the last time the Dutch medal winners met the Queen (after Athens summer olympics 2004), they all wore white suits, and now they all wear black suits.
The Queen looks lovely.. and it's nice to have her back

Great to see Queen Bea back again! I hope her recovery has gone well and that she will be at good health and won't have anymore problems. A nice gesture to meet the Dutch medalists, Bea looked to be in a very joyous mood!

I missed her too Maxie! But it's been worth the wait. She looks very relaxed and happy! Did anyone see this on TV? Is the Queen able to walk fairly well? I hope the recovery is going well.

Yes, I saw it on tv. I actually don't know how well she walks at this moment. She met with the athletes behind closed doors and all they showed was how pictures were taken of the assembly in Paleis Huis ten Bosch and on the stairs in front of it.

Ireen Wust (the nations favourite girl these days) commented that the Queen was absolutely lovely and funny. And she seemed very down-to-earth and talkative.

The Queen seems to hold on to two ice skaters on one of these pictures, so I assume walking still causes some difficulties (or maybe it is the stairs, as the knee has to make a different angle there).
