Your Majesty

We had the pleasure to be invited to the East Meets West concert at the Concertgebouw. The music was a fusion between modern western music and traditional Indian music. Guest of honour was our head of state, Queen Beatrix. Although she attends many functions during the year and as such is a very visible monarch I had never seen her in real life, let alone close-up. Arriving in a convoy of cars with police motorcycle escort, she arrived just before the concert was about to begin. Surprisingly there was an apparent lack of overt security and one could come quite close to her.
