NPO Radio 1 is broadcasting Koningsdag live from Dokkum in Friesland between 10:30 and 13:30. Markets, street parties and orange clothing fill towns across the Netherlands, with regions such as Brabant holding their own festivities. The royal family is based in Friesland for the celebrations while communities nationwide run local events and markets. Amsterdam is running extra long trains to cope with crowds even as city officials try to limit visitor numbers.
