Westminster Abbey marks Pakistan Day with Special Service

Pakistan's flag hoisted on the rooftop of Westminster Abbey



As per the tradition, the Westminster Abbey organized a Special Evensong to mark the Pakistan Day on the evening of 23 March 2023. The Evensong was sung by the Choir.

Special prayers were offered for the progress and prosperity of Pakistan and its people as well as for the continued friendship between the two countries. A large number of British citizens and Churchgoers attended the event, besides the High Commission's officials.




The highlight of the occasion was that Pakistan's Flag kept flying for the whole day on the north tower of Westminster Abbey. It remained the focus of attention of the tourists who gather around this iconic church every day from across the world.

Each year, the Westminster Abbey invites the High Commission to a Special Evensong on Pakistan Day to pray for the nation, its leaders, and people.

The Westminster Abbey is a royal church offering daily services for all and a UNESCO World Heritage Site with over a thousand years of history. Every year it welcomes over one million visitors. Thousands attend its daily services.
