Prof. Pieter van Vollenhoven, husband of princess Margriet of The Netherlands confessed to reporters that he struggles with the memories he has of the tragedy that happened on Queen’s Day in Apeldoorn.
The professor was a guest speaker at Vrije Universiteit (Free University) in Amsterdam today. He was at the university to give a lecture to the students of social sciences. As chairman of the national safety commission he explained the students the importance and the difficulties of independent research after accidents, something he strived for since the early eighties. He also held a phea to quickly impliment a safety law, which has as goal to show that public safety is a primairy task of the state.
After the lecture the professor confessed to reporters of the NOS and NOVA that the entire family is still upset. ‘The images keep returning’, Pieter said. Pieter also told about his experiiences at the Gelre hospital, where he and his wife met the medical staff at April 30th. Around 80 employees of the hospital, from doctors to coffee ladies, shared their emotions with the couple. Almost all victims were first treated at the Gelre hospital, before some of them were moved to other hospitals in the region.
That is so sad for his family who are also innocent victims not that I feel any sympathy for the man himself mind you but it must just be terrible to have to bury a family member like that.The perpetrator was buried early this afternoon at Zevenaar in the presence of his immediate family only,10 all in all.
His grave has been closed immediatly and no flowers nor stone will adorn it.
I agree. What a terrible time for them.That is so sad for his family who are also innocent victims not that I feel any sympathy for the man himself mind you but it must just be terrible to have to bury a family member like that.

The next to speak was Nadia van Opstal, whose mother was just released from hospital today. Nadia spoke of her personal experiences of the day, and summerized them up as insecurity, fear and sadness. She praised everybody who helped the victims. She also praised the prince of Orange and princess Máxima, who paid her mother and family a visit in hospital. She said that they were all deeply impressed by them, by their warmth and their genuine concern. When Nadia spoke these words, the camera zoomed in on the prince and princess, who both seemed moved to tears by Nadia, as were many. After this speech the Dutch Baroque Ensemble played ”Air’ by G.F. Händel.
The final speaker was Simon Boon, chairman of the Foundation of Orange Festivities (Stichting Oranjefeesten). He described his impressions of the day. After his speech the royal militairy band played the last post, after which a two minute silence was observed. The ‘Wilhelmus’, the Dutch national anthem, was played after which the service was ended.
I love your summary and I don't like to sound grouchy but the "Air by a G string" which was played is from J. S. Bach and not from G. F. Händel.
All in all I was very moved by the words and the music pieces at this service and also when they showed the moved crowd at the Marktplein.
On behalf of the Royal Family Pieter van Vollenhoven visited the family of Karst T at their home in Zevenaar last week.
It must have been a difficult visit for all,most of all for those poor parents who had no idea of what their son was up to
and are left with immens grief and thousands of "what if " questions.
I hail Pieter for this visit,as I had always hoped he or Princess Margriet would visit this family too.
And as of now,I call that Karst T. another victim too.A victim of himself.
It is not for us to judge,there is only One,and I can''t recall Him to be a member of this forum yet.Amen.
