A State Funeral for Ms Fay Miller AM will be held at 10.30am on Friday 26 May 2023 at
Christ Church Cathedral, Darwin, Northern Territory (NT).
Ms Miller was the Member for Katherine in the NT Parliament from 2003 to 2008, and the Mayor of Katherine from 2012 to 2020. In 2021, Ms Miller was appointed as a Member of the Order of Australia for significant service to local government, to tourism, and to the community of Katherine.
Details regarding attendance at the service and livestreaming can be found on the NT Government website.
As a mark of mourning and respect, the Australian National Flag should be flown at half-mast all day on Friday 26 May 2023 in the Northern Territory only from all buildings and establishments occupied by the Australian Government departments and affiliated agencies. Other organisations are welcome to participate.
- When flying the Australian National Flag with other flags, all flags in the set should be flown at half-mast.
- If a set of flags includes the flags of other nations, it would be appropriate to seek permission from the diplomatic representatives of that nation to half-mast their flag.
- An acceptable half-mast position would be when the top of the flag is a third of the distance down from the top of the flagpole.
- Information on flag protocol is available on the Department's website.
Your assistance is appreciated.
