OTTAWA — Gov. Gen. Louise Arbour will attend the state funeral of Norway’s King Harald V next week.
The king died at the age of 89 on Aug. 28 and the funeral is scheduled for Sept. 9 in Oslo.
Arbour is postponing an official visit to Newfoundland and Labrador to attend the funeral but she will still be in Gander next Friday to commemorate the 25th anniversary of the 9/11 terrorist attacks.
The Sept. 9 to 12 trip was supposed to be her first official provincial tour and to include meetings with provincial officials.
