Liberation Parade Wageningen 5 May 2015
On 5 May 2015 the annual Liberation Parade was held in Wageningen. It was 70 years ago that the German capitulation, and therefore peace in the Netherlands, was signed in Hotel 'de Wereld'. Many foreign veterans attended this event for the 70th commemoration. It is likely that this will be the last time that such a large number of World War Two veterans come over to the Netherlands.
The day started with heavy showers. Just before the start of the parade, the showers cleared, so the festivities went on according plan.
