Willem-Alexander's Birthday

I went to a yearly event for the people of Holland, celebrating the birthday of the Future King of The Netherlands. He will be crowned on April 30th. Traditionally, people wear the color orange that signifies The House of Orange and it's history. Feel free to read all about it.

The event was at a beautiful vineyard in Frejus. The weather was gloomy and it eventually rained.
The head of the Society in the area gave a speech. The crowd sang the anthem, the children set free balloons. I had a couple of traditional meatballs with mustard. It was my job to take some informal snaps...here are a few.
