“The Pakistani national flag was hoisted on Westminster Abbey in London during the holy week of Easter in a sign of London’s takeover by Islam.”
What FACTLY found
Westminster Abbey flew Pakistan’s national flag on 22 March 2024, as a representative from the High Commission of Pakistan attended Evensong on the same day, having been invited to commemorate Pakistan Day on 23 March 2024. This occurred before the start of Easter week. It was part of their tradition to fly the national flag of Commonwealth nation when a representative of it attends Evensong on or around their national day
