Live Mint  

The Indian government on Friday announced one day of state mourning on Sept. 11 as a mark of respect on the passing away of Queen Elizabeth, according to Reuters report. Ministry of Home Affairs notified that the government of India has decided that there will be one day State Mourning on September 11 throughout India in the wake of demise of Britain's Queen Elizabeth II. "Following the death of Her Majesty The Queen, it is His Majesty The King's wish that a period of Royal Mourning be observed from now until seven days after The Queen's Funeral," a statement said, while a gun salute will be fired in London at 1 p.m. in Hyde Park, with one round fired for each year of the 96-year-old queen's life, Buckingham Palace said on Friday, the report said. The palace did not say when the funeral would be held, but it is likely to take place around 11 days after the queen's death on Thursday, Buckingham Palace said flags at royal residences would remain at half mast until the morning after the mourning period and that royal residences would remain closed, although floral tributes could be left outside, as per report.
