Vietnam will hold a two-day state funeral for President Tran Dai Quang who died of serious illness on Friday, the Vietnam News Agency reported on Sunday.

During the state funeral on Sept. 26-27, all national flags at governmental agencies will be tied to the pole by a black piece of cloth, and the flags will be flown at half-mast.

Besides, all entertainment activities will be officially suspended.

The late president will be buried at a cemetery in Kim Son district in northern Ninh Binh province, his home town on Sept. 27.
