On Friday Bas van Toor (l) will be 86. He is still there, but far from being in good health. For the municipality of Vlaardingen, where ‘Bassie’ grew up, reason to honor this day with a special parade. — © Hollandse Hoogte / Fotopersburo Edwin Janssen

Joy and sorrow are closely related to Bas van Toor – who is celebrating his 86th birthday on Friday. In his ‘own’ Vlaardingen, the seriously weakened and paralyzed clown Bassie is offered a real parade as a gift from Bassie & Adriaan cars and caravans that are still moving. The sad news is that, especially on this holiday, his brother Aad can’t be there… also because of health problems.
