personal memories of those meetings.
Duration of the video: 1,5 hours. Translation and subtitles: Ineke, John, Ruud.
We have to admit that this documentary really touched us. André’s words could have been our words and
thoughts. On April 30, 2013, which was Queen Beatrix’ 75th birthday, Abdication Day, and at the same time
the inauguration of our new King and Queen, King Willem-Alexander and Queen Maxima. Ruud and Ineke
were in Amsterdam and there were festivities all over. It was a day never to forget. Freezing cold, but heart
warming.
If you are interested to see more about that day, with our personal experiences, it is on our website under
