What Will Happen on 21 July?

At 9am a Roman Catholic Te Deum mass will be celebrated in Brussels' St Michael's Cathedral.

At 10:30am King Albert will sign the official documents marking his abdication. The ceremony will take place at the royal palace of Brussels. King Albert of the Belgians will retain the title 'king', but will lose the qualification 'of the Belgians'.

At noon his son will swear his oath of allegiance to the Belgian constitution and become the new King of the Belgians. To mark the accession canon shots will be fired.

King Albert, Queen Paola Shed a Tear On Eve of Abdication

Belgium's Queen Paola shed a tear Friday after twice offering Albert II a kiss as the royal couple took a farewell tour of Liege ahead of the king's weekend abdication.

Greeted by thousands of cries of "Long live the King" and "Long Live Belgium", the visit to the southern Belgian city was Albert's last in 20 years of a reign that comes to a close Sunday.

It was also highly symbolic as it was there that his parents -- Leopold III and Swedish-born Queen Astrid -- showed him off from the town hall balcony as the one-year-old baby Prince of Liege.
