The mortal remains of the late ex-President Jerry John Rawlings will be laid to rest today at the Military Cemetery, in Accra.
This will be preceded by a state burial service at the Black Star Square, climaxing a four-day elaborate state funeral.
The burial service will be attended by President Nana Addo Dankwa Akufo-Addo, Vice President Alhaji Dr Mahamudu Bawumia and some heads of states in the sub-region.
Despite COVID-19 restrictions, the burial service is expected to attract hundreds of Ghanaians from across the country, with calls on many to follow the event on television or online.
