Estonia's blue, black and white flag was raised at 7:18 a.m. in the border town Narva on Tuesday morning, the 108th anniversary of the country's independence.
The celebratory flag-raising ceremony of the Republic of Estonia took place at sunrise at Narva Castle, 15 minutes before the celebrations in Tallinn.
