Just spotted this lone KLM 777 coming in to Amsterdam. Anybody know why they did this?

Unfortunately you wont be able to see this now, but it was PAE-AMS KLM777 and the only aircraft in the swathe of grey ash warning area.
KLM had to divert 7 planes to Düsseldorf on Thursday evening. Dutch Airspace was closed for ALL flights (even VFR) at that time, while the German wasn't. Today they are ferrying all of them back to Amsterdam.
