I was there during the ceremony on Dam Square. As it was crowded I did not see that much, but caught some glimpses of the royals. The ceremony was solumn, as always. And it seems the crowd gets bigger and bigger each year.

And that's a good thing! :)
I watched the ceremony on tv, as usual. Every year I'm touched by the solemnity of the people on the Dam square. Hope to go there too, one day.

Although the occasion was solemn, CP Maxima really didn't dress so nice.

That's nice to hear. The same thing is happening in Ottawa (& indeed across Canada) - the number of people coming out for Remembrance Day seems to increase every year. And in large part, I think we have the Dutch to thank for that. In 1995 (50th anniversary of VE Day), Canadians watched the Dutch treat our veterans like heroes. It made the front pages over here & seemed to be a bit of a revelation for us. It was like, if the Dutch are treating our veterans so respectfully, maybe it's time we did as well.

Maxima's suit is lovely: great fit and style. I also like the way her hair is pulled back into a soft bun at the nape of her neck. I wonder if she is wearing her hat wrong, that the feather should be on the side, the way I've seen some British soldiers wear the beret with feathers.

Who is the lady walking with Queen Beatrix? Is she a government minister?
