As is customary for every Pakistan Day with a parade, President of Pakistan Mamnoon Hussain showed up at the parade festivities. Considering he’s the “ceremonial” head of the State, President Hussain took part in the parade ceremony with much fanfare.
Just look at the excitement on his face here while being driven to the stage
But, because this is one of the VERY FEW times Pakistanis actually got to see President Hussain be a part of any official events they were ready with their Mamnoon jokes
And boy, were Pakistanis savage:
"ye kon hai"
My sister asked me, when she saw "Mamnoon hussain" on TV.— Mohammad Arslan (@ArslanAkhtar103) March 23, 2017
You’re not the only one, bhai ji. I had no idea we had a president, either.
People had A LOT to say about his appearance:

Some correctly said Pakistan Day should be renamed…
It shouldn't be Pakistan Resolution Day, it should be Mamnoon Hussain deedar day. #PakistanDay

It’s such a shame he had to work on a public holiday, what with ALL the work he does.

A lot of Pakistanis were reminded of what this day really means
Happy #PakistanDay ! our annual reminder of unity, faith and discipline, that the PAF is pretty cool and mamnoon hussain is alive and well!

It was like spotting a rare species.
Hence proven – Mamnoon Hussain is not a myth, He does exist! #PakistanDay #23MarchOf1940#یوم_پاکستان_ایک_دن_ایک_عہد

Mamnoon has quickly become a beacon of hope for many.
There's only one person who makes me feel a little less useless in life and that's Mamnoon Hussain.

Is that the Queen of England?

Many expressed the importance of vitamin D.
23 March is not "Pakistan Day"
But
It is "Mamnoon Hussain Day".
Bcz his body disperatly needs Vitamin D. Oh God!!!— Bilal Safi (@Bilalsafi161) March 20, 2017
…considering he’s rarely seen out and about
News Alert: Mamnoon Hussain absorbed natural Vitamin D today after a long time ?

The dhoop saikne wale jokes started too.
Mamnoon Hussain is just like a razai, jis ek dafa dhoop laga de jaati hai take keere na pare!! https://t.co/3r64TFP2Jz

And many guessed the need for Mamnoon sahab to venture out of the comfort of his home…

Don’t worry Mamnoon fans, hopefully, he’ll get into the television business.
Bol TV should give Mamnoon Hussain a show as well. At least we’ll get to see him more often.

And worst case scenario, there’s always next Pakistan Day
