AMMAN (JT) - The Royal Court on Wednesday issued a statement announcing the passing away of the maternal grandfather of His Majesty King Abdullah, Major General Walter Gardiner, in Amman at dawn yesterday.
He will be laid to rest in a special ceremony today, the statement said.
King Abdullah cut short his visit to Oman and returned home yesterday to attend the funeral, another Royal Court statement said.
The Royal Court will observe a weeklong mourning period, starting Wednesday.
It announced that people can record their sympathies in a Book of Condolences at the Royal Court on Friday from 10:00am to 5:00pm.
The Jordan Times has learned that the Royal Court advises against posting condolences in the media and urges donating the money to charities instead.
