“46 years have passed since the founding of the Union, each day of which the UAE has grown from strength to strength. From Zayed, Rashid and our founding fathers, we learned patriotism and pride in our people. #UAE46,” he wrote.
Others posted pictures of the huge firework displays, and the Al Fursan Emirat Squad flypast.

Happy 46th National Day, UAE!
