Agreed, although may I make one or two revisions to your post please?

I am pretty sure the Dutch would be over the moon for HM to attend the 65th Anniversary of Market Garden. They have great humility, a perfect recall of history and an extremely respectful outlook.
You seem to have missed out their cracking sense of humour.

Whilst me and the present Mrs Flash were enjoying a long weekend in Haarlem in the late 80's I became very aware of Operation Manna. The look in an old Cloggy's eyes said it all really, and we couldn't buy a beer all night. They hadn't forgotten. Despite the best efforts of politicians, friends will allways be friends.
