The British Embassy in Kathmandu lowered the flag as a mark of respect for Britain's late Queen Elizabeth II. “Her integrity, compassion, sense of duty & public service inspired those of us who served in her name. Our deepest condolences to The Royal Family,” British Ambassador to Nepal Nicola Pollitt said in her tweet. Queen Elizabeth II, the UK’s longest-serving monarch, died at Balmoral aged 96 on Thursday.
