Service Airborne cemetery Oosterbeek
On Sunday 21 September 2014 the annual service at the Airborne cemetery at Oosterbeek took place. For the majority of the veterans, this is the most important event in the commemoration weekend.
The 70th commemoration was attended by many more people than in the past years. Because of that, your reporter was not in an ideal spot for taking pictures of the wreath laying. This is compensated with some more close-up pictures of veterans.
