I have seen the ceremony on television yesterday, very impressive. Especially the old veterans from the Dutch Indies. A shame that out foreign minister disgraced this day by apoloising to the Indonesians, insulting to the veterans previous gouverments sent there & who have sufferod so much from the Japanese occupation!!! The minister could have chosen a better moment I think.

Is it the first time the queen attends this ceremony? Much to late in my opinion.

Then I have to apologize! I know that the queen always showed a lot of interest to the eterans of the dutch indies & to the people from the molukken (don t know the translation of this island). During one of her christmas speeches they played a moluc song in the end.

Has the Queen had much of a chance to go to her villa? She seems to be so busy this summer - certainly much busier than other monarchs.

Does she always carry out so many engagements in the summer, or is this year special because of her Jubilee celebrations?
