Our Queen is abdicating at April 30th of this year (Queensday). I must say I very much liked her speech, which was warm and emotional.

It was a nice speech.
I found it nice to hear there won't be an "Orange Day", but a King's Day, although I'm not sure yet if the new king will continue the tradition of his mother and mingle among the people. We'll see. If not, it's not the end of the country.
