The Netherlands has declared tomorrow a national day of mourning for the 193 Dutch victims of the flight MH17 crash, Prime Minister Mark Rutte said in a statement.
The first bodies recovered from last week's disaster over rebel-held Ukraine, in which 298 people died, are due to arrive in the Netherlands at 1400 GMT tomorrow, where they will be met by relatives.
King Willem Alexander, Queen Maxima and Rutte will also be present at Eindhoven airport for the arrival of the bodies, which will be marked by a minute's silence, the statement from the justice ministry today said.
Flags on public buildings around the country will fly at half mast, Rutte said.
Representatives of some of the 10 other nations whose citizens were killed in the crash will also be present.
