Since the First Ladyship is not an official position, Ladybird wasn't a head of state. Therefore, thee government flags probably won't be flown at half mast.

I don't think they will, but then again, our country may surprise us. I agree with PrincessPeach that we have troops being killed every day in Iraq and we don't fly our flags at half mass for them, but we should.

Half Mast is a term from the old seafarers on the sailing ships. They have a mast which holds some of the sails so when the term half mast is used it is refering to a ship's mast halfway up.
