The tarmac was lined with Marching bands. Everything from the Rosmary preschool choristers to the Ontlian Army Pipers. They couldn't have been kept back.
Charles Peterson adjusted his glasses on his impecibly straight nose. He stood at the front of the Ontolian Diplomatic corps. He was in his mid forties, born soon after the revolution. This was his day. 21 years in the service and now Europe was finally coming to Ontolia.
Each Delegation would be greeted by their own national Anthemn followed by the Ontolian one. Peterson remembered the discussion of the order the anthemns would be played in. Grown men could turn to bickering children quickly over such a silly issue. Hopefully with som much more at stake the actual summit talks would be more productive.
A murmer ran through the crowd. It quickly became a shout. The first plane was just visible in the distant wild blue yonder.
