    I had to think about you because you feared the whole event would become a disaster but I think you will agree with me everything is suprisingly glamorous so far. In fact we have already seen more glitter than during the Jubilee and the Wedding at the neighbours, don't you think?

    Now, let us pray and hope no lunatic disturbs the day. The organization did their best, the weather is marvellous and so many jewels have sparkled. The last time must have been 1966 (Beatrix' wedding banquet).
