Dignitaries in attendance were Dr. George Akuffo Dampare, Inspector General of Police, and the National Democratic Congress (NDC) leadership, who joined the mourning to express their condolences for the people of Georgia.
Before proceeding to the burial grounds, the celebrities who attended the occasion were permitted to file past the late Queen Mother’s coffin as a final act of respect.
