Belgium’s royal family gathered in Brussels on Friday to celebrate two major events: the country’s National Day and the tenth anniversary of King Philippe’s accession.

Today, the royal family and the people of Belgium celebrate the country’s National Day, and the tenth anniversary of the accession of King Philippe and Queen Mathilde.

On Friday, the Queen of the Belgians headed to the nation’s oldest city for a special coronation procession—but one that involves a statue, not a reigning monarch.
