The world's tallest building, the Burj Khalifa, has been lit up with an image of Queen Elizabeth II and the Union Jack in tribute to Her Majesty.
It is one of a number of iconic sites across the world that have marked the death of the 96-year-old monarch, with the Brandenburg Gate in Berlin and the Empire State Building in New York also commemorating her.
Since the Queen's death was announced on Thursday evening, tributes have poured in from around the world as the UK and millions of others mourn her passing.
In a striking image, the 2,700ft tall Burj Khalifa in Dubai was covered in the livery of the British flag as the United Arab Emirates showed its solidarity with the UK.
