    Queen's Day (Dutch: Koninginnedag) on April 30 (or celebrated on April 29 if the 30th is Sunday) is a national holiday in the Netherlands. It started as a celebration of the Dutch monarchy.
    The holiday is celebrated on this date because it was the birthday of Queen Juliana (1909-2004). When [[Beatrix of the Netherlands|Queen April 30, as the weather on her own birthday, January 31, tends to prohibit the traditional outdoor festivities.
    Prior to 1949 the holiday was celebrated on August 31, the birthday of Queen Wilhelmina.
    On Queen's Day the monarch, Queen Beatrix, visits one or two towns where she is received with celebrations in her honor. These celebrations often involve traditional Dutch dances and demonstrations of old crafts.
    The previous monarch, Queen Juliana, would welcome people who came to the Soestdijk Palace. She and her family would stand on a dais, and a long line of citizens would walk past, congratulating the Queen and presenting her gifts.

    Yeah that's right, there was a congestion of boats in one of the canals and due a collision a man fell off a boat and hit his head against the wall of the canal or the boat self and didn't survive.

    There's 80 percent chance I will pop out and mix in the crowd tomorrow. :)
