Citizens and residents alike will come together on Tuesday in a show of patriotic pride as the UAE marks its 14th annual Flag Day. The banner occasion was established in 2013 by Sheikh Mohammed bin Rashid, Vice President and Ruler of Dubai, to commemorate the accession of the late President Sheikh Khalifa in 2004 and has become a staple of the UAE calendar in the years since. Members of the public, ministries, private companies and schools are being invited to raise the flag in unison at 11am.
