Pakistani and Indian soldiers lower the flags of their countries during a daily ceremony at the Wagha border near Lahore on July 17, 2011. The Wagha border is the only road border crossing between India and Pakistan. Every day a retreat ceremony takes place called “the lowering of the flags” which has been held since 1959. The event is open to spectators who are able to view the spectacle from one side of either country’s border. During the 45 minute ceremony Indian and Pakistani guards high-kick and stamp in a choreographed routine which ends in the lowering of both flags and the closing of the border gates.
