the day at the funeral 1

It's one of the saddest day of the royal Dutch dynasty, Prince Claus von Amsberg who died on October 6th 2002. For information he's the queen Beatrix's husband. I wonder why they call him prince becuause to my notion it's for the son of the king. Later I found out that King or Queen would be use only with one who is natural born King(or Queen). So when he or she get married, his or her sprout would be called "prince" or "princess". For those who've already known. so what? I just learned :D
These are pictures taken during funeral, most of people in the city, Delft, are kind of excited because this event would not oftenly happen in Delft that thousands of people internationally came to the city to join this royal funeral. As I guess, people want to be a part of history but not being so sad with his death.
Spectacle from the house that near the old church where the funeral took place. Doen't look like they were sad, do they? Dress doesn't matter
