Bill & Karmen, thanks.

Berhard was a remarkable man - read an unbiased account of his life here.
Because of his love for aviation he will be buried with military honours in his Air Force uniform on 11 December in Delft. The Prince's coffin will be transported on a 25-pdr gun carriage. My old unit, the Delft Student Rifle Guard, will accompany their patron to his last resting place in the New Church. I wish I could command the platoon once more.
