Half-masting instructions:

Union flags will usually be half-masted on all Government buildings in the UK on the day of death of a serving Commonwealth Head of State. Flags will therefore be flown at half mast on UK Government Buildings today until 20:00hrs.

Other organisations and local authorities may follow suit.
