Dutch Crown Prince Willem-Alexander (right) and Maxima STORYLINE The Netherlands on Tuesday bid farewell to former queen Juliana, burying her with the royal honours that she shunned in her lifetime. Bells pealed across the nation when her coffin emerged through the colonnaded door of the Noordeinde Palace in The Hague and was placed in a horse-drawn hearse while a military band played the national anthem. Opaque white screens were lowered over the open sides, lending an air of dignified solitude to her final journey. The 19th century hearse, covered in purple with white plumes on the corners and a golden crown in the centre of the roof, wound through the cobbled streets of The Hague toward the Nieuwe Kerk, or New Church, in Delft, 13 kilometers (eight miles) away. From schoolchildren to elderly people of Juliana''s generation, thousands of citizens watched from behind an honour guard of nine thousand military men lining the route as the hearse rolled by. It was followed by a carriage carrying the eldest sons of Queen Beatrix and her three sisters. Beatrix and her sisters, all dressed in white, travelled separately by limousine to join the procession for the final few hundred metres (yards) to the church. Grieved by a nation grateful for her leadership during the difficult postwar years of recovery and social change, Juliana was laid to rest in the vault next to her parents, Queen Welhelmina and Prince Hendrik. Propped between his daughters, Juliana''s frail husband Prince Bernhard, 92, wearing his trademark white carnation in his lapel, followed the coffin borne by six military pallbearers into the vault to pay his last respects. Reflecting her lifelong distaste for regal privileges, Juliana requested that her funeral be kept as humble as possible. Nonetheless, the ceremony at the royal crypt in the ancient city of Delft was accompanied by traditional pomp, in the attendance of royalty and dignitaries from around the world. Juliana won the respect of her subjects in this egalitarian country by rejecting many of the trappings of her station and leading an unassuming life - as much as possible for a monarch.
