His Highness Sheikh Mohammed bin Rashid Al Maktoum, Vice President and Prime Minister of the UAE and Ruler of Dubai, has paid a heartfelt tribute to his father, as today marks the anniversary of his passing.
His Highness shared a video on social media to honour Sheikh Rashid bin Saeed and said: "Thirty-two years ago, my father and Dubai's father, Sheikh Rashid bin Saeed, left us."
