Members of the diplomatic corps, government officials, ministers, Members of Parliament, politicians among other high profile personnel have all been to the venue.
Old students from his former school, Mfantsipim Senior High School were also at the venue in their numbers to mourn him.
They used the opportunity to sing the school’s anthem and chanted some popular songs from their days in school.
The Chiefs and people of Akwamu Traditional Council in the Eastern Region, Mr. Annan’s ancestral home, poured libation and performed some rites to bid their beloved farewell.
