This morning I went to bandar to see the National Flag raising ceremony in conjunction with the 23rd National Day Celebration (23rd February). The ceremony was held at the open foyer of the Sultan Haji Hassanal Bolkiah Foundation (in front of the SOAS Mosque).
Please stand for the National Anthem of Brunei Darussalam
Also not forgetting, there was a choir group who sang the patriotic songs during the ceremony.

This is the first time I went to see the ceremony and I didn’t expect it to be a very formal function. Should I knew it earlier, I will wear something more appropriate. Probably then I can get more close up photos.
