WAGENINGEN, THE NETHERLANDS - Tens of thousands of people cheered and clapped Thursday as veterans marched through a small Dutch town where the German army surrendered to a Canadian commander 60 years ago.
People stood rows deep, lined rooftops and leaned out of windows along the route of the Liberation Day parade through Wageningen, marking the 60th anniversary of the liberation of the Netherlands from Nazi Germany.

Dutch Prince Willem-Alexander and Gov. Gen. Adrienne Clarkson watched the parade, which included Canadian, Dutch, Belgian, Polish, British and American veterans.
