5 Facts You Might Not Know
1
The Royal Palace of Brussels is bigger than Buckingham Palace. Although no one lives there, it serves as the setting for government functions and other public events. The structure as it is seen today is relatively new, dating from the early twentieth century.
2
In 2002, Belgium became the second country in the world to legalize euthanasia. A patient can only be euthanized if he is experiencing chronic emotional or physical pain that cannot be treated by any other means. He must be conscious when the request is made. People cannot seek euthanasia if they are not terminally ill or if they are merely unable to afford medications that would alleviate their pain.
3
The Festival of Cats, or Kattenstoet, occurs every third year in Ypres. The parade is the festival's main event. In the Middle Ages, real cats were thrown from the belfry tower, but now stuffed cats are dropped instead. Townspeople enjoy dressing like witches or cats to celebrate the festivities.
4
The Smurfs first appeared in a Belgian comic strip illustrated by Peyo. Peyo was born Pierre Culliford in Brussels in 1928. He later chose to go by Peyo because it was a common mispronunciation of his nickname, Pierrot. Similarly, he developed his Smurf language based on the made-up words he would use to replace words he did not know when he was speaking in French.
5
Even though Audrey Hepburn is more commonly identified as British, she was actually born in Brussels. She moved between England, the Netherlands and Belgium as a child, staying in the Netherlands and adopting a false name during World War II in order to avoid the Germans. She did not return to Belgium to live, although her work with UNICEF was inspired by her childhood experiences during the war and her flight from Belgium.
The capital of Belgium is Brussels. The currency of Belgium is the Euro(EUR) Flag of Belgium
Belgium belongs to the European continent

Red Devils | Belgian Air Force Days
The Belgian Air Force Red Devils aerobatic team have a long proud history, starting out in 1957 flying the Hawker Hunter and from 1965 with the Fouga Magister. Budget restrictions saw he team disband in 1977. In 2011, at the occasion of the 65th anniversary of the Belgian air force, the team was reconstituted with 4 SIAI Marchetti SF-260s, elementary training aircraft built in Italy. These aircraft are based at Beauvechain and the pilots of the team are all instructors there, in addition to their duties on the team for which they volunteered. In 2014, team members are Senior Captain Paul Leys in the lead, Senior Captain Davy Vanhaeren, Senior Captain Corentin Leveau and finally Captain Steve Malburny as solo.
Just like their football counterparts, the Belgian air force Red Devils proudly represent Belgium at home and abroad.
De Rode Duivels van de Belgische luchtmacht kennen een lange, trotse geschiedenis, beginnend in 1957 op Hawker Hunter en vanaf 1965 op Fouga Magister. Om budgettaire redenen werd het team in 1977 ontbonden. Ter gelegenheid van de 65ste verjaardag van de Belgische luchtmacht in 2011 werd het team opnieuw opgericht, ditmaal met 4 SIAI Marchetti SF-260, toestellen die worden gebruikt voor de elementaire vliegopleiding op de luchtmachtbasis te Beauvechain, waar de teamleden allemaal vlieginstructeurs zijn bovenop hun taken bij het team, waar zij zich als vrijwilliger voor hebben opgegeven. In 2014 bestaat het team uit Senior Captain Paul Leys als leider, Senior Captain Davy Vanhaeren, Senior Captain Corentin Leveau en tenslotte Captain Steve Malburny als solo.
Net als hun voetballende naamgenoten vertegenwoordigen de Rode Duivels van de Belgische luchtmacht ons land met trots in binnen en ver buiten onze landsgrenzen.
Les Diables Rouges de la force aérienne belge ont une histoire longue et fière, débutant en 1957 volant le Hawker Hunter et à partir de 1965 avec le Fouga Magister. L'équipe a été abandonné en 1977 à cause des restrictions budgétaires. En 2011, à l'occasion du 65e anniversaire de la force aérienne belge, l'équipe a été reconstitué avec 4 SIAI Marchetti SF-260s, avion d'entraînement élémentaire construit en Italie. Ces avions sont basés à Beauvechain et les pilotes de l'équipe sont tous instructeurs là, en plus de leurs fonctions chez l'équipe pour laquelle ils se sont portés volontaires. En 2014, les membres de l'équipe sont Senior Captain Paul Leys en leader, Senior Captain Davy Vanhaeren, Senior Captain Corentin Leveau et enfin Captain Steve Malburny en solo.
Tout comme leurs homologues de football, les Red Devils de la force aérienne belge représentent la Belgique fièrement chez nous et à l'étranger.
