One of countless pictures of UAE President Sheikh Zayed, seen from the Al-Ain to Abu Dhabi highway in the town of Baniyas. In this hand-drawn giant poster, Sheikh Zayed, in white ceremonial dishdasha and sunglasses, standing on a bed of flowers, holds up his hand in a waving gesture. To the left is the red, black, white and green flag of the UAE.

Sheikh Zayed passed away on 2 November 2004 at the age of 86. More info on the BBC News website
