Proclamation 10440 of September 8, 2022
Death of Queen Elizabeth II
By the President of the United States of America
A Proclamation
Her Majesty Queen Elizabeth II was more than a monarch.
She defined an era.
In a world of constant change, she was a steadying
presence and a source of comfort and pride for
generations of Britons, including many who have never
known their country without her. Queen Elizabeth II led
always with grace, an unwavering commitment to duty,
and the incomparable power of her example. She was a
stateswoman of unmatched dignity and constancy who
deepened the bedrock Alliance between the United
Kingdom and the United States. She helped make our
relationship special. The seven decades of her history-
making reign bore witness to an age of unprecedented
human advancement and the forward march of human
dignity. Her legacy will loom large in the pages of
British history, and in the story of our world.
As a mark of respect for the memory of Queen Elizabeth
II, by the authority vested in me as President of the
United States by the Constitution and the laws of the
United States of America, I hereby order that the flag
of the United States shall be flown at half-staff at
the White House and upon all public buildings and
grounds, at all military posts and naval stations, and
on all naval vessels of the Federal Government in the
District of Columbia and throughout the United States
and its Territories and possessions until sunset, on
the day of interment. I also direct that the flag shall
be flown at half-staff for the same length of time at
all United States embassies, legations, consular
offices, and other facilities abroad, including all
military facilities and naval vessels and stations.

IN WITNESS WHEREOF, I have hereunto set my hand this
eighth day of September, in the year of our Lord two
thousand twenty-two, and of the Independence of the
United States of America the two hundred and forty-
seventh.
