Netherlands has a national day of mourning

Today the victims will be arriving at Eindhoven airport. Finally they are home by the people where they belong. 

People can say goodbye to their beloved ones.

This is really a week of sadness.

Still people are wondering why and who.

I think it's great to stand still to this tragic incident all together.

4pm we have a moment of silence.

We did not have a national day of mourning since 1962 when Queen Whilhelmina died. 

Municipal buildings in many cities will hang the flags at half-mast today.

Many churches will ring their bells.

Also the train traffic will be shut down for one minute.

There will be no summer hits be played on the radio and also the television will be stand still on this day for the victims of the mh17. 

The Dutch windmills will stand on grieving today. 

If the blades are in mourning mode, the lower wick shifted slightly to the right. The wick is if it were something beyond the mill and that symbolizes mourning: it is past and been.

What are you doing at 4pm? Do you keep 1minute of silence? Or do you just do nothing and keep doing what you do?

What is your meaning of this day of grief?

I will put a candle on for the victims of mh17 and keep 1minute of silence. 

I hope the victims will rest in peace here in their own country with the people they loved.
