Tributes poured in from all over the UAE on Tuesday over the death of Sheikh Khalid bin Sultan bin Muhammad Al Qassimi, son of His Highness Sheikh Dr. Sultan bin Muhammad Al Qasimi, Supreme Council Member and Ruler of Sharjah. He passed away in UK on Monday (July 1), according to a statement issued by the Ruler's Court today.
The Ruler's official account on Instagram was one of the first to break the news of the son's passing - with the display picture changing to a monochrome picture of Sheikh Khalid.
The Ruler's account also reposted an emotional tribute video posted by Sharjah News on Instagram - highlighting some memorable father-son moments from over the years.
