We get a new King today!!
« on: April 30, 2013, 02:40:24 am »
today is the big day.
Her Majesty Queen Beatrix of Orange will "retire" at age 75.
therefor her Son and his wife, The Prince Willem of Orange and Princess M?xima will get in her place.
so today our country has a new king. !!!
the last King Willem III died in 1890.
This  means we will have a King after 123 years of Queens.

video of our National Dutch Anthem
(with English lyrics, it's the oldest anthem in the world!)

so big celebrations and parties all over our county today!

Happy for you & your countrymen!

Lift a stein or three for me!

I wonder how many of the "partyers had to be fished out of the canal?
And none of the girls were displaying their 'assets'!!!

all formalities are done! the queen is princes again and Willem Alexander is king.

here a video of the King on his walk from the palace to the church for the inauguration.
I love all trumpets when he's entering the church.


video announcing the new king Willem Alexander: "long live the King"

So proud to be a citizen of our country! and so  happy with our new king!

Hi marg, didn't know so I googled a bit for you.
the church is called "new church" and build around 1650 but the "old" foundations did go back to early 1400.
