Carnival the Grand Reunion

Today the Big Parade was held in Den Bosch, 's Hertogenbosch, the capital of the province of Brabant in the South of our country. I've visited Den Bosch many times, but today first time on Carnival. Its colors Red, White and Yellow were know to me, but not that they have a dress code of wearing the same thing; a blue or black smock or jacket filled with stickers and topped with a scarf (red, white, yellow). 
The carnivallers in Den Bosch looked quite uniform to me, and they united in their song of 'Blue, blue, I love you, once a year no meowing at last' and they struggle united with the same hangover and meet one another constantly, for days on end , in a state of total grubby receptivity. Carnival is their grand reunion.

** in Extra is the wagon with new politician Caroline van der Plas ~ she's leader of the BBB party, allegedly a farmers party, hence the cow and they also show her green polished nails well
