The un-announced visit of the King to the Jordaan, a neighbourhood in the centre of Amsterdam, touched a lot of people in the Netherlands. Mr Eberhard van der Laan, the Mayor of Amsterdam, is severely ill (diagnosed with lung cancer in a far advanced stadium) and the way the King offered his arm to help the mayor stirred emotions amongst the Amsterdamers and the Dutch (Van der Laan is a very popular Mayor).

It's good to see he came rather quickly. We need to send a good message to the islands at this moment
 
 
I'm so glad that he went to see for himself. Surely it must be reassuring to those poor people to have him come and bring supplies and manpower to help with clean-up. How sweet the pictures of him getting down on the children's level and talking to them. I'm sure he wants this restoration done as quickly as possible. God bless him and the people who have lost so much.

He actually swore in the new Minster today! The last one didn't step down until yesterday in the evening!

Thanks a lot for pointing that out, QueenMaximaftw! I had slightly mistranslated the official news entry and had thought both had happened yesterday. I had tried to translate it from Dutch to German without any translation tool - a little self-chosen challenge I enjoy from time to time.. ?


King Willem-Alexander today also opened the new building of Eurojust in Den Haag:
