Yesterday we had our national celebration of the birthday of our Queen Beatrix. If you have been in the Netherlands before on these days, you know, its a huge national festival that everyone celebrates, and everything is possbile that day. On days like these the Queen and the Royal familily is a connecting factor in the Dutch society.
Yesterday a man drove with a car into the public, wounded 17 - killed 5 of them and he tried to attack the Queen (who was at that moment in an open bus waving to the public) he luckily missed them, the Queen and her family is safe but they are all deeply shocked, as the whole nation is deeply shocked.
Yesterday we've seem lost a part of a great tradition.
