Immediately the first note of the Anthem is played, everyone in the audience is on their feet. That's true respect.

My Grandfather was part of the Canadian Army that helped liberate the Kingdom of the Netherlands during ww2. He had a grade 10 education but could speak 4 languages including Dutch. We played this anthem at his funeral. lang leve de koning! R.I.P Gramps 🇳🇱🇨🇦

My brother and I were hitch-hiking through the Netherlands (we wore our Scout rucksacks on which was the word Canada and our flag)............as we came to a city centre where a great crowd was assembled without knowing that they were celebrating Dutch freedom from the Nazis.......as we hiked along.....the crowd went suddenly silent and then parted to let us through......then someone spotted our flags and the word Canada and the crowd went nuts......people rushed toward us clapping and singing.....and we were literally swept up by the crowd and propelled along as the centre of attraction.......we were hugged and kissed and welcomed by everyone......it turned out that a Canadian regiment had freed the city during the war and everyone thought we were young soldier wearing Scout military pattern rucksacks......what a reception we were given.....!

As a US Air Force officer while serving in Europe, my wife and I stood in the main square in Amsterdam as people gathered to celebrate Liberation Day. I remember the queen coming out of the her building and walking right past where I stood. She was followed by WWII veterans of the British and American armies who liberated the Netherlands. She gave a moving speech. But the thing I recall the most is the playing of the Dutch National Anthem. I was moved by its beauty. I turned to a stranger next to me who was Dutch and told him I thought the Dutch anthem was very beautiful. His face lit up and he smiled from ear to ear and thanked me for my kindness. He was very proud at that moment.

I am Japanese. I remember Antonius Geesink from Dutch National Anthem. He was the first olympic champion of Judo open weight division in 1964. It means he was the strongest judo player in the world. So many Japanese judokas respect him !

Breathtaking indeed, I'm not even Dutch but I'm crying orange slices already 😥🍊

Als een uitwisselingstudent heb ik in Groningen gestudeert. Het is een keer gebeurt, dat ik toen naar een disco wilde, had mijn ID niet met mij, de security man heeft mij alleen binnnen gelaten as ik Het Wilhelminus zing en dit is wel gelukt! Lang leve Nederland !

[@matheusmariani3108]

This anthem is basically William of Nassau making a love letter to his country and God. Really beautiful.

Greetings to the Netherlands from Deep in the Heart of TEXAS. I have visited your country several times, as I used to live in neighboring Germany. I have very fond memories of my time in the Netherlands. Thank you for your friendship to the USA over the years. My best wishes to the Dutch people!!
