PRESS RELEASE : Half-masting of flags following the death of The President of Namibia, Hage Geingob [February 2024]

The press release issued by the Department for Culture, Media and Sport on 5 February 2024.

It is with great regret that we learn of the death of The President of Namibia, Hage Geingob.

Union flags will usually be half-masted on all government buildings in the UK on the day of death of a ruling Head of State. Flags will therefore be flown at half mast on UK government buildings from Sunday 4th February until 20.00hrs on Monday 5th February.

Other organisations and local authorities may follow suit.
