RIYADH — Custodian of the Two Holy Mosques King Salman could not hold back his emotions as he attended the graduation of one of his sons, Prince Rakan, who finished high school studies here. “I attend this graduation not only as Rakan’s father, but a father to all the students,” King Salman said during a speech he delivered.

King Salman has made a habit of attending all his sons’ graduation ceremonies, a sign of the importance the King places on education.
Before the ardha (sword dance) ceremony, Prince Rakan presented a sword to his father, which caused the King to get emotional seeing his last son graduate.
