RIGA - Latvia marks 103 years since the proclamation of independence.

Some events and concerts are planned for today in Riga and throughout Latvia, but due to the Covid-19 pandemic most of the usual Independence Day concerts and events will be televised instead.

However, National Armed Forces planes and helicopters will fly over Riga's Old Town in the afternoon, which too will be televised.

Latvia proclaimed independence at 4 p.m. on November 18, 1918 at the Riga Second Theater, now Latvian National Theater.
