President Addo Dankwa Akufo-Addo has directed that all National flags fly at half mast for 7 days following the passing on of the British Monarch, Queen Elizabeth II.
The President noted the gesture is to honour the memory of the longest serving Monarch of the Great Britain and then Head of the Commonwealth, the Organisation of which Ghana is a proud member.
The observance is to take effect today, Friday, September 9, 2022.
This follows an extension of his condolences to King Charles III, her successor, on behalf of the government and people of Ghana.
The President further extended his condolences to the entire Royal Family, the Prime Minister and the government and people of the Great Britain.
“On behalf of the Government and people of Ghana, I extend deepest condolences to the new British monarch, King Charles III, the @RoyalFamily, the Prime Minister, and the Government and people of Great Britain on the death, today, of HM Queen Elizabeth II”
She was a cherished and revered monarch of the British people, the longest-serving in their history, who will be sorely missed. We are saddened by her departure. 5/7
