Default Amsterdam Remembrance Day

I was reviewing my photos of my visit to Amsterdam for the Remembrance/Liberation celebrations in 2005 and have one that still puzzles me. On May 4th when the ceremonies are taking place in Dam Square a silent parade of people entered led by several drummers with drums muffled in black cloth. It was very solemn. Does anyone know the significance of this march?
