By James Kon

Bandar Seri Begawan - Brunei Darussalam's 24th National Day celebrations officially came to a close yesterday as the giant national flag, which was hoisted on February 10, was lowered during a ceremony at the open area of the Yayasan Sultan Hj Hassanal Bolkiah Complex.

With the accompaniment of music performed by the Royal Brunei Police Force Band and patriotic songs by the Brunei Darussalam National Choir, the huge national flag measuring 24 feet by 12 feet was gently lowered from the 110-feet flagpole by 20 personnel from the Royal Brunei Navy before it was neatly and carefully folded.

The flag was handed over to the Permanent Secretary at the Ministry of Culture, Youth & Sports, Dato Paduka Hj Jemat bin Hj Ampal, in his capacity as the chairman of the organising committee of the ceremony.

This year's National Day celebration was themed "Tunas Bangsa" or Nation's Youth.  -- Courtesy of Borneo Bulletin
