The King and I

Every last saturday of june is Veterans Day in The Hague, Holland. 
An event in which we honor our soldiers for preserving our peace and in return they display their skills and material in a grand parade for our King.
Normally it's next to impossible impossible to approach closer to the King than the television crew, security agents, police or specially invited guests, so you can probably understand my challenge to find a good viewpoint.

Kinda pleased with this photo of our King Willem Alexander and our Prime Minister Mark Rutte right behind him during the parade!

PS. Remember the TV series Dads Army? I captured them in the extra photo ;-))
