Pakistan will observe a day of mourning on Monday (tomorrow) over the death of Britain’s Queen Elizabeth, state news agency APP reported.
Upon the recommendation of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs, Prime Minister Shehbaz Sharif accorded his approval for observing a day of mourning in Pakistan, on September 12, on the demise of Queen Elizabeth II.
Separately, the Pakistan High Commission in London tweeted: “To express solidarity with the government and people of the United Kingdom on the sad demise of Her Majesty Queen Elizabeth II, Pakistan will observe a national day of mourning on 12 Sept. 2022. During the day, Pakistan’s flag will be lowered to half-mast throughout the country.”






Meanwhile, the coffin of Queen Elizabeth will be taken from her home in the Scottish Highlands on a slow, six-hour journey to Edinburgh on Sunday, giving the public a chance to line the roads in tribute to the monarch who died after seven decades on the throne.
The death of the 96-year-old has provoked tears, sadness and warm tributes, not just from the queen’s own close family and many in Britain, but also from around the globe — reflecting her presence on the world stage for the last 70 years.

On Sunday at 0900 GMT, Elizabeth’s oak coffin, which has been in the ballroom of Balmoral Castle covered with the royal standard of Scotland and with a wreath of flowers on top, will be placed in a hearse by six gamekeepers.
Accompanied by the queen’s daughter, Princess Anne, the cortege will slowly make its way from the remote castle, winding through small towns and villages to Edinburgh where the coffin will be taken to the throne room of the Palace of Holyroodhouse.
Tens of thousands have gathered at royal palaces in the days since Elizabeth’s death on Thursday to leave flowers and to pay their respects.
“I know how deeply you, the entire nation — and I think I may say the whole world — sympathise with me in the irreparable loss we have all suffered,” her son King Charles said at a ceremony on Saturday where he was officially proclaimed the new monarch.
“It is the greatest consolation to me to know of the sympathy expressed by so many to my sister and brothers and that such overwhelming affection and support should be extended to our whole family in our loss.”
While Elizabeth’s death was not totally unexpected given her age, the fact her health had been deteriorating and the passing of her husband of 73 years Prince Philip last year, there was still a sense of shock at the news.
“We all thought she was invincible,” her grandson Prince William, now the heir to the throne, told a well-wisher on Saturday as he met crowds at Windsor castle.

Funeral​

Elizabeth’s state funeral will be held at London’s Westminster Abbey on Monday, Sept 19, which will be a public holiday in Britain, officials announced.
US President Joe Biden said he would be there, although full details of the event and the attendees have not yet been released.
Before that, her coffin will be flown to London and there will be a sombre procession when it is later moved from Buckingham Palace to Westminster Hall where it will lie in state for four days.
In 2002, more than 200,000 people queued to pay their respects to Elizabeth’s mother while her coffin lay in state and aides have previously said there is an expectation that millions may want to visit.
“It goes without saying that we can expect large numbers of people,” the spokesperson for Prime Minister Liz Truss told reporters.
Truss, whose appointment as prime minister on Tuesday was the queen’s last public act, will join King Charles as both the new head of state and prime minister tour the four nations of the United Kingdom in the next few days.
Charles, 73, immediately succeeded his mother but was officially proclaimed as king on Saturday in a colourful ceremony laden with pageantry and dating back centuries following a meeting of the Accession Council at St James’s — a royal palace built for Henry VIII in the 1530s.
Charles is now the 41st monarch in a line that traces its origins to the Norman King William the Conqueror who captured the English throne in 1066.
Elizabeth’s death has capped a difficult couple of years for the royal family which has seen the loss of Prince Philip, its patriarch, her second son Prince Andrew accused of sex abuse — which he denied — and grandson Prince Harry and his wife Meghan step down from royal life to move to California.
Harry and Meghan have been alienated from the rest of the family since, with Harry and brother William said to be barely on speaking terms.
But the death of their grandmother managed to reunite them, as they appeared together with their wives outside Windsor Castle to meet the crowds on Saturday.
A royal source described it as an important show of unity at an incredibly difficult time for the family.

Further Confirmation that Pakistan is still a commonwealth colony despite getting independence in 1947

We might have a piece of land, but still we are mentally slave.
WTF?
FLAG WILL BE DOWN??
am I dreaming or what?
 
.
Nodoubt about that ... only Pashtun has some energy, otherwise, rest are all slaves of their personal wishes
If this tygerian energy is such a model for success then I wonder why Afghanistan is such a crap hole and all the other ethnicities in Afghanistan think Pashtuns hold them down...
 
.
One should laugh or cry ????

A Muslim country observing a day of mourning for a Christian Queen!!!

I'm sure Israel, created by UK, didn't do the same ....

It's pathetic....
Jews demanded their homeland and forced/coerced Britain the other Western powers to give them their country. Whereas Pakistanis got their country through default since Britain couldn't maintain it's massive empire post WW2.

We are in fact ghulam ibne ghulam ibne ghulam (ghulam is a farsi/urdu word for slave).

If you know the history of subcontinent, particularly the eastern regions which dominated current day Pakistan, those have been enslaved for more than two millennia by various foreign entities, they have an inherent inability to oppose or resist their oppressors.

Pakistanis are slaves, have been slaves throughout their history and will remain so for the unforeseeable future.

If this tygerian energy is such a model for success then I wonder why Afghanistan is such a crap hole and all the other ethnicities in Afghanistan think Pashtuns hold them down...
Afghanistan might be a crap hole, but at least they are free and give it a few more decades, the way things are progressing in Pakistan they will surpass us just like Bangers have done so.

Despite 40 years of civil war and absolute destruction of their economy, infrastructure, being landlocked et al, Afghanistan's per capita GDP is half of Pakistan's, there is should have a bigger disparity between the land of milk and honey Pakistan and the crap hole Afghanistan.

Pakistanis as a whole are ball-less. Where are our educated youth? Any self respecting nation would have rose up against tyranny a long time ago.

Brother, even our educated are worse than our ball-less jahils; there called burger kids for a reason when they think sitting at McDonald's is a 5-star joint.

The last time I was in Lahore, I got out of our vehicle and kept walking into McDonald's, and you see all these burger aunts, uncles, and kids. Well, I placed my order and asked Dilawar, our family driver from Multan, what he wanted; I got no response; I turned back and he was not there. I then see him standing outside by the vehicle, talking with other drivers; these guys quickly form a group to chat with; I yell out to come here and order food. Well, I get this 1000-yard stare as if I've screwed their sister or something, or worse yet, soiled the 5-star reputation of McDonald's. What can you expect from youth when you have these sorts of ***-hats in the country?

We have been slaves mentally for decades. However these are international norms and all civilized nations adhere to them. We dont winge when we get aid from the UK,why should we not join in the grief of these people. Joe Biden attended the fumeral. That does not mean he is a slave to the UK. Dont read too much into a simple expression of international norms.
