New Delhi, Sept 11: The national flags at all government buildings including Red Fort and Rashtrapati Bhavan fly at half-mast on Sunday, as India observes one-day state mourning as a mark of respect to Britain’s Queen Elizabeth II.
In Scotland, Queen Elizabeth II of the United Kingdom of Great Britain and Northern Ireland passed away on September 8.
“As a mark of respect to the departed dignitary, the Government of India has decided that there will be one day of State Mourning on September 11th throughout India,” reads a statement from the Ministry of Home Affairs.

There will be no official entertainment on the day of mourning, and the National Flag will be displayed at half-mast on all buildings in India where it is normally flown.
Indians also paid their respects to Queen Elizabeth II, who surpassed Queen Victoria, who had ruled from 1837 to 1901, to become the UK’s longest-serving monarch in 2015.
