Remembrance Day In Amsterdam

Thousands of people, crowds attend the Remembrance Day commemoration for WWII victims at Dam Square in Amsterdam. The Netherlands falled silent for two minutes at 8pm on Wednesday night, as the country remembered the Dutch civilian and soldiers who died in World War II other peacekeeping missions. Trains and cars will come to a halt and there are no take-offs and landings at Schiphol airport during two minutes’ silence, which takes place at 8pm. Shops and supermarkets are required by law to close at 7pm, and bars and restaurants warn their clients that the music will stop for a short period. The main ceremony took place at the Dam war memorial in the center of Amsterdam. Thousands of people gathered without masks after two years of coronavirus covid-19 pandemic restrictions. The Dutch PM Mark Rutte, King Willem-Alexander and queen Maxima laid a wreath at the war memorial along with the survivors and members of the armed forces while the mayor of Amsterdam Femke Halsema gave a speech.
