Robert HardingEvery April Holland has celebrated Queen’s Day by holding flee markets and parties and dressing up in orange, the national colour. This year though, Queen’s Day will become King’s Day as 2013 saw a new monarch, Willem-Alexander, come to the throne. The celebrations will be held tomorrow, on the nearest weekend to the new King’s birthday.
