Tanzanians marked the 60th anniversary of the Union in a colourful ceremony in Dar es Salaam.

Union Day is commemorated annually on the 26th of April, signifying the merger of mainland Tanganyika and Zanzibar Island.

Not even the heavy rain that poured in the port city of Dar es Salaam could stop Tanzanians from marking the 60th anniversary of the Union of Tanganyika and Zanzibar Island.
