LIVE | Van Vollenhoven: ‘Beautiful liberation party in Wageningen’, artists to festivals by helicopter | Domestic

Liberation DayPieter van Vollenhoven looks back on a ‘beautiful liberation celebration’ on the 5 Mei Plein in Wageningen. And the artists Claude, Flemming, Son Mieux and Wende, this year’s Ambassadors of Freedom, were taken by helicopter to the liberation festivals where they will perform on Sunday. Claude and Flemming call it a privilege to do this and are happy that the festivals are happening at all despite financial concerns. “I heard things were in jeopardy. But I’m really happy that it will go ahead in the end, because it’s really important to celebrate a day like today.” Follow our live blog about Liberation Day below.
