The Mayor at the Queens Birthday

Every year on the 30th of April, the Dutch celebrate the Queens birthday. It's a day filled with festivities and a flea market on every corner of the streets. The Mayor gives the official starting shot for the festivities in Amstelveen, a small suburb of Amsterdam.
