The Queens Birthday


Today we cellebrate the birthday of our Queen. Normaly we have this day on April 30th, but because it is Sunday then "they" moved it to Saterday 29th. Something to do with old values like churches and so. You have to know -if you like of course- that the real Birthday of our Queen is on January 31th. Mostly it is cold at that time and therefor our Queen decided when she became Queen that the birthday of her mother, Juliana, would stay as Koninginnedag ( Queensday). So you know all now. The two stamps are of a MS from 2005, issued when Beatrix was 25 years our queen or is it Queen.? Very high values , 156 cents for local mail 100-250 grams, and 225 cent for 250-500 grams. Never see these on a letter, think they al with collectors in compleet sheets. Nice topic to start : Queens with hat....Must be a lot of them.
