20120721_Fly-Past_Brussels

Fly-past across Brussels on Belgium's National Day (July 21st). The reason why July 21st is Belgium's national day: In 1830, Belgium had broken away from the Netherlands. In February 1831, the National Congress adopted a constitution which, at that time, was considered as progressive. It was on 21 July 1831 that Leopold of Saxe-Coburg swore allegiance to the Belgian constitution in the Sint Jacobs Church on the Coudenberg in Central Brussels. Leopold I thus became the first king of the Belgians. The great powers at that time recognised the Belgian independence.
