Now here in Arnhem we are nearly ready to receive the ,,BIG’’ party and fine tuning now. The word is spreading around and we will give the ,,old boys’’ a great reception. On the 4th of May, our national remembrance day, 160 British WWII veterans will experience how the Dutch remember our own and their fallen comrades in arms. At 8 o’clock in the evening, when the party will attend a service on our national WWII cemetery there will be a national 2 min. silence. On the 5th of May we celebrate our liberation day, and in the whole of the Netherlands, street parties will take place and a lot of activities for children. Need only good spirits now and hopefully the weatherman will predict a lot of sunshine! Regards from the Netherlands.
