- Story Text:Late former United Nations Secretary General Kofi Annan made his final journey home to Ghana on Monday (September 10) when his body landed at Accra's Kotoka International Airport.
Ghana President Nana Akufo Addo greeted Annan's wife Nane Maria Annan and Annan's children and grandchildren before the coffin, draped with the blue UN flag, was carried out of the plane.
After a brief ceremony soldiers changed the U.N. flag for the national colours over the casket before carrying the coffin into a hearse.
Annan will receive a full state funeral on Thursday (September 13) after lying in state for two days at the Accra International Conference Centre. - Copyright Holder: REUTERS
