In Amsterdam, local residents ignored the prohibitions of the authorities and went out to celebrate the King's Day

Yesterday, April 27, Holland celebrated King's Day - both an old and a new holiday. Old - because the tradition of holding celebrations in honor of the ruling monarchs appeared in 1885.Since then, for almost 130 years, only women have been at the head of the Netherlands. And the new one is because in 2013 Queen Beatrix handed over the throne to her son Willem-Alexander. Queen's Day morphed into King's Day. However, the Dutch almost did not notice the difference, even the date of the holiday practically did not change - it shifted from April 30 to April 27.

Despite the prohibitions of the authorities, people went out to celebrate this holiday.
