But as she reached 80, a burst of nostalgia swept through the flag-bedecked land. Begged an Amsterdam newspaper: "Give us back that Aug. 31st. Let us always celebrate the Queen's birthday on that day." Strong-willed as ever, Wilhelmina insisted on a simple family gathering, and her daughter made a radio request for privacy.
