A parade of Schutterijen in Limburg
Officers of the Schutterij “St. Sebastianus” from the small town of Mechelen, about 16 kilometres south of Heerlen, march in their traditional uniforms in a parade of 60 “Schutterijen”, reenacting the traditions of voluntary citizen militia that were founded centuries ago.
