Today is Queens Day, the day that Queen Beatrix is celebrating her birthday.
It is not really her birthday for that event is on January 31.
Her passed mother Juliana however had on this day her real birthday and it was celebrated all over the country.
When Beatrix became a queen she ordered to keep April 30 as the official Queens Day in honour of her mother.
In practice the knowledge that the weather in April is more comfortable is a not unratable factor.
The shop Catch has decorated the window shop in the atmosphere of Queens Day with the in 1995 official portrait of queen Beatrix made by Carla Rodenberg.
