Queens Day 2009

What should have been such a happy festive day, the day of the century, since it was the 100th anniversary of late Queen mother Juliana, ended up in tragedy!

A Dutch man killed himself and 5 others, wounded another 13 people by driving into the Royal parade and crashed his car into a monument on the side of the road. His target was the open bus with a lot of members of the Dutch Royal family.

(to show respect for the victims, flags are raised half in the Netherlands)


Holland is mourning and what started as such a beautiful day ended so badly!
My thoughts go out to the victims and their families!
