my music idol Maan has another kings day marathon of concerts today :lovedup:

Not proper royals, that’s what the British monarchy don’t **** with them

our king and queen have a good friendly relationship with the british royal family anyway

:hee:

Enjoy the day Nicky

yes gonna be fun to watch, especially now

bc of rainy weather they said people should bring raincoats not umbrella's, cause umbrella's block the sight for other people :fan:


and any older people in the bit cold rainy weather outside, gotta be careful and should not stay outside for a long time :omgno:


so officials have given out good instructions for safety for the current weather circumstances

Kings Day Amersfoort is trending

24.708 people visited their official site yesterday :D

Mayor of Amersfoort, first things he did today was feeding his cats, and checking the weather if there will be some clearer skies

police are taking no risks today, to hopefully keep everything and everyone safe on kings day :)

other dutch people who aren't there in amersfoort can follow it all on NOS site, or NPO1 on tv

and they predict an estimate of 2 or 3 million people to watch it in front of the tv :)

so our kings day program for today is

dutch time 10:50 which is in 3 minutes from now the tour through amersfoort starts until 13:00

and after that we also get a kings day special show from Palace Soestdijk, with musical guests and the celeb royal superfans here :love:

so on the route we get music from operatic singer Maria Fiselier, rapper Ginger, and also a song from singer/rapper Diggy Dex

then through the amersfoort ''jungle'' :laugh3: which is literally just a forest, but the commentator called it a jungle

also visiting several musea and highlight places in amersfoort

another few great atmosphere pictures in amersfoort right now :)

we will also get to hear stories from our dutch military personnel who had served in Iraq, Afghanistan, Pakistan to fight terrorist groups

a livestream of kings day :)

lots of birthday wishes from the crowd for our king willem-alexander :love:

local singer wudstik had performed this song, in front of our royal family just now
