State flags at state and county buildings are flying at half-staff today in honor of former City Prosecutor Charles Marsland, who served two four-year terms from 1981 to 1988 as Honolulu's first elected prosecuting attorney.

Marsland died on April 11. Funeral services will be held today at Central Union Church.

On Saturday, state flags will fly at half-staff in remembrance of entertainer Don Ho. An oceanside memorial service is planned in Waikiki, where Ho's ashes will be scattered off shore.

Gov. Linda Lingle has ordered that the flags remain at half-staff from sunrise to sunset both today and Saturday.
