Footage Of Saudi Police Sharing Roses With The First Ever Female Drivers Is Melting Hearts

ByCasey Fitzgerald

Today marks a historical day for Saudi Arabia.

From June 24, the driving ban on women has officially been lifted, meaning women can now drive as they please.

At midnight, ladies hit the streets in droves. Support came in the form of Saudi Police handing out roses and officials including Prince Al-Waleed bin Talal supporting the cause by documenting their journeys too.

Police are celebrating, if this video of them sharing roses is anything to go by
