Thanks for all the pictures and vids.
Beautiful.

The Netherlands suffered terribly during especially the last year of WWII.

A nice and solemn ceremony. Good speech from Ahmed Aboutaleb, the Moroccoan-born Mayor of the second largest city of the Netherlands (Rotterdam).
 
Such a poignant event, beautifully done.
 
Remembrance Day,May 4th 2016

Such a poignant event, beautifully done.

Poignant indeed Jacknch,even more so since yesterday was Remembrance Day again,and there's no thread on the 2016 ceremony here,at all....

It was all beautifully done,very moving,very impressive.

And in Rhenen at the Grebbeberg,venue of fierce fighting in the early days of WW II it was HRH Princess Margriet and Mr.Pieter and their 3rd son HH Prince Pieter-Christiaan who were in attendance.
