Crowds line the streets and throw flower petals at the car carrying Jacqueline Kennedy as she arrives in Lahore. That day was declared a national holiday in Pakistan.

At the end of the ceremonies at the cattle fair, President Khan gifted Mrs. Kennedy this horse, named Sardar. The horse was later transported back to the United States -- skipping quarantine procedures after the first lady asked her husband to intervene on its behalf.

First lady Jacqueline Kennedy and her sister, Lee Radziwill, meet camel driver Bashir Ahmad. Ahmad had formed a friendship with U.S. Vice President Lyndon Johnson the year before after Johnson stopped to shake the camel driver's hand on his own trip to Pakistan. After Johnson casually invited Bashir to "come see me sometime," Bashir accepted the invitation. He became a media spectacle after he traveled to the United States to meet with Johnson and the Kennedys.

Kennedy (right) and Radziwill ride Ahmad's camel. Image shows the women sitting atop the kneeling camel, asking its handler to make it stand. After a nervous glance at the ladies' American minders, Ahmad ordered the loudly groaning camel up and the sisters made a brief tour of the grounds.

Lahore c.1900-1910's
History has dealt the lovers of Lahore more than their share of broken hearts. This graceful and cultured city, with a history that stretches by some accounts back into the days of the epic Ramayana, passed through many conquering hands - Hindu, Mogul, Persian, Afghan, Sikh and British -on the way to becoming an intellectual center of the Indian subcontinent.

The Godfather In Pakistan
The Godfather "Marlon Brando" once visited Pakistan in 1960's, where he visited different cities Lahore and Karachi etc.

Marlon Brando is widely considered the greatest movie actor of all time. In those days, American artists came to Pakistan more frequently than their diplomats, understandably so, which was why the Pak-American Cultural Centre (PACC) used to be a very active institute… not that it isn’t today.
