STORYLINE:
The Netherlands' Queen Beatrix hosted nobility from around Europe and beyond on Monday evening for a dinner at the newly renovated national museum, the Rijksmuseum.
Royal guests, including Britain's Prince Charles and his wife Camilla, Spain's Crown Prince Felipe and Princess Letizia and the Japanese Crown Prince Naruhito, attended the dinner in Amsterdam.
Earlier, Queen Beatrix thanked her people and urged them to support her son, Crown Prince Willem-Alexander, in a final address before her abdication.
Beatrix, 75, is to sign the papers enacting the once-in-a-generation change of royal titles on Tuesday morning, the central moment in several days of festivities that are already underway.
Earlier in the day, the streets of Amsterdam began flooding with orange in honour of the ruling House of Oranje-Nassau, as government and noble guests prepared for the ceremonies, and the people of the country got ready for a huge party.
More than a million people are expected in Amsterdam Tuesday, with 10-thousand uniformed police, 3-thousand plainclothes officers and an untold number of civil servants assisting in the logistics.
