Dutch King Willem-Alexander and Queen Maxima joined children and families of the victims to unveil the monument in the village of Vijfhuizen, near Amsterdam, on the third anniversary of the incident. The country's poet laureate composed a somber piece for the ceremony, and Dutch vocalist Natasja Den Toom honored the victims in song. (Reuters)
