Today we celebrate the one and fiftieth birthday of our King Willem-Alexander. I made this photo of him and his family from television. They celebrate his birthday each year in another city and this year it is Groningen far in the north of our country.
The Dutch people celebrate this day off traditionally with a "free market" that stands for selling your attic stuff and everthing you want to get rid of in the streets.
Children try to earn some money with playing music.
And selling toys and other stuff.
Poor doll was for sale. I would never sell my dolls when I was a kid or even grown up.
Have fun!
BeantwoordenVerwijderenEnjoy the Public Holiday Marianne. The Royal family looks very well in that tv photo.
BeantwoordenVerwijderenMy daughter had already sent me a few photos of crowds of people in the streets wearing orange and drinking beer 😄.
Yes, feels sad to see a discarded doll. Otherwise a fine day!
BeantwoordenVerwijderenThere must be lots of things to look at while out walking around.
BeantwoordenVerwijderenIt must be chaotic there with everyone setting up!
BeantwoordenVerwijderenOh, this brings back memories. When we visited Amsterdam six years ago, it was Queen's Day and we had such a grand time with street entertainment and vendors and all the bright orange. Big, happy memory sigh!
BeantwoordenVerwijderenThey look a lovely family.
BeantwoordenVerwijderenLots of people and lots of fun with a little touch of chaos probably. :)
BeantwoordenVerwijderenYou have lots of different fun here as well as celebrate the Prince's birthday.
BeantwoordenVerwijderenThey do look a lovely family ...
BeantwoordenVerwijderenFun scenes in the streets ...
All the best Jan
Nice to see such a lovely "young" royal family.
BeantwoordenVerwijderenI like the idea of everyone selling their wares on the same day!
Lovely looking royal family Marianne. Did you find a bargain at the market?
BeantwoordenVerwijderenWat was het leuk!
