As Pakistan geared up to celebrate its 69th Independence Day, flags adorning every balcony and window light decorating buildings and hues of green flooding the streets, Google and Facebook joined in on the celebrations introducing their ways to mark the day.
As the clock struck twelve on Friday, Google changed its Doodle to tall lettering with the second ‘O’ replaced by an archway view of the Lahore fort with the Pakistan flag flying high.
On the other hand, Facebook presented an innovative way for users to mark their independence, allowing them to update their status with a mood-setting of “celebrating Independence Day” and sharing it with their friends and family on the social network.
