First on the agenda was for King Juan Carlos to lay a floral wreath at a flagpole to commemorate those who died while fighting under the Spanish flag.
Then it was onto the Plaza de Lima, where all the royals watched a military parade. It was quite a sunny day, so the royal women had to don sunglasses to shield their eyes from the sun’s rays.
During the parade, several people booed and whistled at Prime Minister Jose Zapatero. Some even jeered at him, “resign!”
At noon, the family went to the royal palace to hold a lunch for Spain’s government leaders.
