Half-masting of flags following the death of His Highness Sheikh bin Zayed Al Nahyan, President of UAE and Emir of Abu Dhabi

It is with great regret that we learn of the death of His Highness Sheikh bin Zayed Al Nahyan, President of UAE and Emir of Abu Dhabi.

Half-masting instructions:

Union flags will usually be half-masted on all government buildings in the UK on the day of death of a Middle East Royal Head of State. Flags will therefore be flown at half mast on UK government buildings today until 20.00hrs on Saturday 14 May 2022.

Other organisations and local authorities may follow suit.
