LONDON - Pakistan Muslim League-Nawaz (PML-N) President Shehbaz Sharif arrived in London late Wednesday to take the body of Begum Kulsoom Nawaz, the wife for former premier Nawaz Sharif, to Lahore for last rituals at Jati Umra.

Nawaz Sharif's son, Hussain, turned into tears when his uncle met him for condolence at his Avenfield residence where a number of other political leaders were present to condole with the family.
