To mark the accession of His Majesty King Charles III, the Union Flag was raised at the British Embassy on Saturday and it will be returned to half-mast on Sunday, where it will remain until the day after the State Funeral of Her Majesty Queen Elizabeth II, the British Ambassador to Qatar, HE Jon Wilks, has said.
In a series of tweets on Saturday, the British envoy said that a Service of Commemoration will be held on Thursday, September 15, at 7pm at the Anglican Church of the Epiphany at the Religious Complex, and a condolence book will also be available then.
“Attendance at the service will require pre-registration with the British Embassy. A further announcement with details of how to register will be issued soon,” Ambassador Wilks noted.

“Flowers may also be left at the Ritz-Carlton, and a Book of Condolence is also available at http://www.royal.uk,” the British ambassador added.
The longest reign in British history came to an end on Thursday when Queen Elizabeth II passed away.
She passed away at Balmoral Castle, her Scottish vacation home, where members of the royal family had hurried to her aid when her health started to deteriorate, according to the palace.
